slow stick flying
Who loves Slow Stick flying?
I've had glo fixed wing, Electric gliders, Firebirds, Aerobirds....and now the Slow Stick, which in my opinion is the best alround fun you can have at such cheap costs, whats more the SS can be modified in just about any area...it can fly as slow as you like to as fast as you like with the right modification...
When i first took my SS down my local flying field i had a few raised eye brows and people saying what the hell is that....now all my buddies are thinking of buying one...the SS is with out doubt one of the most fun ways to get in to RC, i find it totally relaxing flying, i just can't wait to get my LiPo's for that all out endurance....
If you hav'nt got one your not in the game!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone agree with me?

RE: slow stick flying
I agree totally! I bought a complete slowstick package only because i wanted the electronics it came with. I decided to build the ss to see what the fuss was about. It was great. Totally diffrent experiance than buying a rtf deal. I still like my aerobird though

RE: slow stick flying
The Aerobird is a nice model to fly, but there is something about the SS i love..... i just can't put my finger on it.
I think it's because it's different from the Aerobird/Firebirds/other electric gliders, I love the Aluminium fuse with all the electronics hanging off it.....i like to see the Speed Controller/Reciever etc...in other ARTF/RTF kits the beauty of the electronics is hidden inside....but needless to say for $35 you can't go wrong!
I can't see me flying anything else for a long time

RE: slow stick flying
Thing about the slow stik.....it is SO stable and gentle of a flyer...it is relaxing. I own an Aerobird, but have flown the SS as well. I love both for different reasons. The SS will be added to my hanger once I get into more traditional equipment.
