RE: Slow Stick
I haven't had mine all that long, so I couldn't argue the best combos. Mine is fully GWS equipped and it flies great, I love it. Might wanna check out the new Model Airplane News, there's a very interesting article on a Slow Stick upgrade in it. One part in particular, the author clipped the wings at the last "rib" and claimed it made it more stable in wind.

RE: Slow Stick
I'm using the Electron 6 receiver and HS-81s that came with my Hitec Neon controller. I'm using my 20A Zagi ESC (which recently died). It WORKED great! I also use a custom 7-cell KAN1050 offset brick pack.

RE: Slow Stick
I have some HS-55's in my sons SS. Castle Creations 20A ESC. Fly it on, I believe they are 4/5 AAA bateries. Light as a feather with app. 5-7 min flights. Just right for a 8 year old. I have been wondering how long a set of LiPo 2s2p 2400 would keep it up however.

RE: Slow Stick
I can tell you that a 2100mAh li-po will keep it up for 35-45 minutes depending on flying attitude and weight.
My setup I use a GWS Naro 4 channel reciever, and 2 Mini-Std servo's and a GWS ICS100 esc, and I time my flights. I have been up at 1/2 throttle for over 50 minutes once!

RE: Slow Stick
I have the 2400 mah li pols and I can tell you that I only needed to buy one, After about an Hour I got bored, Rested and still flew. It just keeps on going, I still don't know what times I will get as it got dark.
Standard motor prop. It was great to fly. I have a new tail made from correx which is far stronger and the wings are clipped.
