RE: other electric trainers

There are a lot of 'good' park-flyer type trainers out there, to be quite honest. The Slow Stick is one of the most popular, for sure. If you're going to look at anything that "looks like" a Slow...

GWSExpert.com also has a decent package deal for a very good price ($108) for everything you need. Except the TX...

RE: My Slow Stick: All Done! :)

Well I went on wednesday to my local flight club's field and had her trimmed by one of the instructors there. Then tonight I took her back out and another instructor helped me take her out on the...

RE: My Slow Stick: All Done! :)

Thanks! I did use packing tape. And I did make permanent marks for the CG on the wing, and all of the RC elements right on the fuselage, too... (I read about that being a good idea in previous...

RE: Building a Slow Stick [ Websites ]

OK, first question. Sitting directly on the fuse, the slow stick tail and wings are perfectly symmetrical and balance identically (in terms of distance) from the ground to the wing and tail surfaces...

Building a Slow Stick [ Websites ]

Hiya all. Was wondering if anyone knew of any illustrated (and well, but not too verbosely) documented website pages online where someone goes through the building of a SLOW STICK? I'm not having...

RE: Servos and Receivers and Such

Thanks Randy, I wondered if there was a 'rule-of-thumb' for park flyer servos, but I suppose one can't be so lucky! I appreciate it, anyhow. :D

Another Dumb Question?

I've heard that several models of airplane make a "GOOD first aileron" trainer." But why? What determines that? What makes one aileron model better than another in general? I've been looking at a...

RE: Servos and Receivers and Such

Thanks very much, makes sense. I suppose what I'm really wondering is, if I buy one of the kits from Mountain Models or any of the smaller ARF kits, would I be safe with HS-55 or should I get HS-81?...

Servos and Receivers and Such

I have another couple questions. In the interest of learning only, I'm not buying anything atm. :D

RE: On cloud #9

Well, to be honest, even though you prefer RTF... I was told that one of (if not "the") best entry level plane was the GWS SlowStick for someone who wants to get into the hobby. The Aerobirds and...

RE: On cloud #9

Brent, I think that is so cool. What a great story. Congratulations! When I was a girl, I used to be the same way. I was always a little tom-boy, always thought the "boys toys" were a heck of a...

RE: Aileron Trainer??

Those Mountain Models do look really great. :D Once I've mastered the Slow Stick I think I'll check them out. The SmoothE and the Dandy Sport both seem to be really nice flyers. Any comments on...

RE: Canadian Flying Clubs (with Electric Flyers).

I think I'd be far too intimidated to even try flying at an event yet. Yikes! [X(] But I've read the MAAC website and I think I will join up, once I figure out how. I've written to them to inquire...

RE: Canadian Flying Clubs (with Electric Flyers).

Thanks Geoff. :-) I'll check that out. It's difficult to find a field large enough to really fly around here, I find. Most parks and baseball fields I find too small for my aerobird and I don't...
