The Slow stick can be much more than a basic trainer. You can fly it in small areas. You can even fly it indoors.
After you get comfortable with it as a slow speed parkflyer you can upgrade the power system for more speed and authority.
It thermals wonderfully so you can enjoy soaring.
Add another servo and you can add ailerons to it.
Clip the wings shorter and make it faster and more aerobatic.
This is an amazingly versitle plane and there are tons of mods documented for it by happy users.
Slow stick - $35 -
Best flown in still to under 5 mph breeze. This is an excellent choice for
people who have a smaller space to fly.
Can also be flown indoors in a gym or similar space.
