Had a bunch of fun flying her around at the local field. Love doing super low power takeoffs. :) Uploading a video to youtube to share.. Will post here when it is done. :)

Video of a fun little flight.. For the most part just farting around with low power. I love this silly plane.

I am building one of these and I would like any help on what would be good for this plane. Any suggestions help, thanks.

I’d recommend adding some carbon fiber rods to the leading and trailing edges of the wing similar to how the bigger slow sticks are fitted out. This is to counter the tendency of the wing to fold up if you get into a hi G pullout. I have the 1806 motor also but it can be too much.

I have a very small prop and 2S battery on mine. Works great.. About a 1:1 thrust with a fresh battery. I could easily put a different prop on it and pull a lot more power, but it would not be a good fit for this slow flying plane.

Yikes - They are very rare at this point. I do not know where you will find one, sorry. Check Ebay and those places to see if a kit shows up.
