Default RE: Thoughts of an Aero ace slow flyer?

The slowest I've been able to get the AA to fly using stick & tissue
is with a Strato Streak wing. It floated around the park nicely
(better with no wind) but could never fly around a living room.
It had a 16" wingspan and weighed 18 grams., a cola straw for
the tail boom and foam stab & rudder. There's a pic in my gallery.

Not sure you could even make an AA light & small enough to fly
around a living room. Those planes usually weigh in the range of
5 to 8 grams. The AA guts alone are 10.
