.... there are really no parks to fly at where I live.... there are a few fields around my town that I can go to sometimes but most of the time its the backyard only... and the slow stick is just too big for my yard
Take this as you wish and be understand I am just parroting what I have read elsewhere and have no experience with the plane in question, but I have read that the GWS Pico Moth (Tiger Moth Biplane look a like, 3 channel) is slow enough to fly in a back yard. I have my doubts, but perhaps you can do the research and make up your own mind.
