MM Dandy sport or Tantrum?

Wow! You have just given me something to think about it. I had not even considered the switchback. Plus, I see that you can buy retractable landing gear for this plane. Wow!

MM Dandy sport or Tantrum?

Ok, I have about 10-15 hours of slow stick flight time. I can fight the wind, loop, invert the plane, land and crash fairly well. I flew the aerobird before that for let's say 10 hours or so (I...

Wicked Wobbly Slow Stick Tail Fin

Greg,

What size prop are you using on your stick? Plus, I see you have the battery up front. This seems like a good idea as I always feel I am a bit tail heavy with the battery right behind...

Wicked Wobbly Slow Stick Tail Fin

After dropping the SS from waist level, it landed on it's nose. I then noticed that the rudder and elevator were extremely loose. Tightening the screws appears to do nothing. I was thinking about...

Aerobird battery

Just a quick note to the Aerobird owners out there, I made a female Aerobird plug to male JST connector patch cord and have had great success flying this battery on my slow stick. Probably seems...

Slow Stick: elevator vs rudder throw & prop suggestions?

I, personally, would not recommend a fighterbird. Being a 2 channel plane, I have heard that it can get blown away without being able to give it down elevator. Plus, you run into the problem of...

Slow Stick: elevator vs rudder throw & prop suggestions?

I have the Slow stick and I have trashed many a prop this summer. I have discovered that they tend to break right at the most proximal part where they attach to the hex nut thingie. If you take...

Balsa & Tissue Paper

When I was a kid, I used to buy these really cheap kits from I can't even remember where that had plans and balsa wood to build a small plane. I had a blast building them. I would then cover the...

Speed 400 on a Slow stick?

I assume then, that they make a speed 400 assembly that fits the slow stick stick? I will definitely need to get a better ESC. I had anticipated getting the Castle Creations pixie 20 amp for my...

After breaking my motor mount, ordering 3 replacements (I am sure it will happen again) and repairing my slow stick, I started wondering if I would be able to place a speed 400 motor in my stick. Is...

Voltage regulators

I don't actually own the castle creations ESC yet, but the web site says it can be programmed at 5, 6, 7.2 and 8.4 v cutoff which will work well for lipo's. I realize that my question is likely...

That might work. The only part that is busted is the square part that slips onto the fuselage. I may even be able to CA the bottom of the remaining mount to the top of the fuse stick that CA is so...

It's not the motor that is busted. That would actually be easier to replace it seems.

Slow Stick Battery Question

I believe those batteries will work fine. I just purchased and flew with a 7 cell 5/4 AAA 800 mah NiMH and had a blast. The firebird battery should work well if you have the right connector. Don't...
