Yep! Great slow motion fliers and very honest about it. Myself and a buddy/neighbour had Pico Sticks, beat those up, then the big Slow Sticks. I still think there are very few better first aircraft, I would hand a trimmed SS to anyone and let them have a go. We flew combat with the Slow Sticks and used to laugh our butts off with full contact stupidity. Tape is your friend.
