Default Super stick like SS?

I now am using an AXI 2808/20 on my slow stick because it weighs close to 30OZ with my AP gear. Its not bending the fuse and breaking the wings because of the Gs when I am fun flying.


Is there any kind of an airplane that uses the same stick concept that is more durable for my slightly acro moves?

the parkzone slow V has a carbon fiber stick for a body instead of an aluminum one. I was at the hobby shop earlier, and saw they had the body, and all wing and tail mounting pieces, for $10. youd just have to glue on the sticks tail, shim the front for the GWS gearbox, and swap the parts. That should be stiff enough, and still really light

Try adding an aluminum or carbon arrowshaft epoxy glued inside your SS fuse, really adds strength w/o much weight penalty.

3/8" x 3/8" balsa stick in the fuse helps some also.
