The slowest is the parkzone vapor,129$,14in wing span,and can fly in the smallest areas.

Status: offline 		I noticed you also posted a request about a helicopter earlier. I would suggest that you buy either the vapor or the mCX rtf, and the other as a bind and fly. Both use the same TX. One will cost about 120 dollars and the other around 100. Alternately, if you have a 2.4 receiver, buy each as a bind and fly.

I have had all of the planes mentioned in this thread, and the vapor is the best slow flyer, bar none. I have seen most of the helicopters for indoor and this is hands down the easiest to fly and the most reliable. I think these are the two best options for indoor flying. I own them both and see no need to look further. And I had to order them from overseas!! (I live in SE Asia)

Status: offline 		I think you're looking for a GWS GloStick (Red w/ Iron cross on the tail and wings, also comes in yellow/green/brown as a slope glider), the $35 version comes with a speed 480 brushed motor, the older kits have an aluminum fuse, newer ones it's carbon but they cut it in half and include a cheezy plastic connector, I'd invest in a new carbon fuse that isn't cut. You have to provide the receiver, battery, servos and radio. There is also a ~$50 version w/ brushless motor included. Use 3M packing tape instead of the included GWS stuff. Google up 10 must do mods for SloStick, it really helped. I already had ythe dihedral built in but added ailerons, great trainer and lots of fun.

the vapor can fly in a great room.(of your house)
Your not gonna pull that off with a slow stik. The slow stik is an excellent plane ....... love mine...
but as far as indoor, you need a gymnasium.

my son has a vapor and it's killing me cuz I want one too!

1: 15-20+ minutes depending on the pilot.
2: Buy a bicha charger or the "blade mcx usb charger",you may be able to charge with your triton on its lowest rate,but you will need to make an adapter.
3:Move the control rods to their innermost positions,move the batterie mount to ring in fount of the control board.
