SLOW STICK Wing reinforcement braces (MUST modification)
Hello folks!
There are a lot of people out there, who strongly encourage replacing the weak
alluminum dihedral brace of the GWS Slow Stick wings
with brass. I also saw that many of you were having
problems replacing the alluminum dihedral brace for
the LE and TE of the GWS Slow Stick, some of you
avoiding it entirely, so having made a set for myself
and having left-over tubing, I cut up some more for
others. Remember, this is a must modification if you
don't want your wings to fold or flutter!!! Most
people make theirs out of brass, I make them from
stainless steel, which is a lot harder to find, more
expensive, and twice the strength! You can read more
about them at:

I have already sold many sets, here is some feedback
from a few of them (it's on ezone, sorry):
