Default slow stick

I have built the slow stick WITH the .061 and It is awesome. I will try to post pics later. It has the same flight characteristics and still takes off in under 5 feet. It climbs like crazy and does loops and even some inverted(sort of) and it will hover with talent. The added weight didn't affect the huge wing area. It balances perfectly without fuel, and nose heavy with fuel. It flies pretty fast for a park flyer. I have not had any problems with foam and fuel yet, but I painted half of the bottom of the wing with black latex house paint. It worked out great. The tail feathers were fine, I just added a guy wire between vertical and horizontal stabilizer.
