RE: Reflections on a Great Planes BLT from a Slow Stick flyer.
I will be flying the SlowStik this weekend, but I have to comment on the crashability of my first choice. I picked the RTFun T-hawk. It is a bit of a handful to fly, but it takes a sledgehammer to break it. I have crashed my T-hawk approx 25 times with relatively little to no damage. It took a full throttle vertical asphalt collision (not me) to do any aprreciable damage. I repaired it using the spares included with the plane. It was about $100 less than a SlowStik but sounds like the stik is a bit easier to fly. The pusher prop stays out of the way in accidents and the plane is very resilient. I think if the batteries were replaced with LI-Polys and the weight was readjusted to balance, it would be a world class trainer.
