OK, i just ordered a slow stick with the gws floats. That should be here by friday. I've seen some sick slow sticks out there but i want this one to be super light, and fly verrrrrry slow. I wana see some of your slow sticks and what you did such as mods or upgrades. I fly 3D but want this plane to scoot around in my front yard.(i have a bayou thats right infront of my house for float flying!!)
Ok, here's what i think i might do.
Motor:
http://www.atlantahobby.com/shopexd.asp?id=5162 (1.66 oz (44 g) including the stick mount) (Mounts right to the S.S.)
ESC:
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLYC6&P=7 (only because i have one lying around but also have a castle creations 35 if needed...lol) (.42oz with wires (12g)
Prop: Depends...gana put it on a meter and see how low i can get the draw to go.....
Servos:
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...odID=EFLRDS75H (have some of theses too....)(6 grams!!!)
Reciever:
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=SPM6100 (because i have a x9303 2.4)(3.5 grams)
Battery:1.)
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRVR6&P=0 (3.4oz (97g)
2.)
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRVP5&P=0 (1.52oz (43g)
3.)
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRVN9&P=0 (0.74oz (21g)
The batterys depend on how light i need it.
O.K. how does this look? The motor is super light and can lift this bird into the air fine. I don't need loads of power but would like to have as much as possible. I went with the flight power packs because there light, have a cheap balancer that i can hook up to my triton to fast balance/charge them, and there semi cheap. I think i'd only use that small battery to fly it with the floats. It may not even be necisarry but you never know. I want this thing to be really light. Doing so will make it unable to fly in almost any wind.... Doesn't that suck when you live on the water and its almost always windy!?!?!? Anyway, later i think i'll buy another wing and string that up with lights that i can run together and plug into the reciever.
Isn't it funny that the damn esc weighs more that the freegin reciever?!?!? whats up with that?? lolz.
