Massive 11 foot carbon stick

[Flying Farm Kid]

Ever since Flite Test released their carbon stick I had wondered what a big one would look like. When we wanted to attempt a large scale plane for the first time I knew what the perfect candidate was. The stick is very simple to make. My brother and I just had to glue the wing and the tail up. The rest of the plane is fully adjustable with 3d printed claps that mount the components to the 1 in aluminum tube that makes up the fuselash. It had a ft monster motor for power along with a 6000 6s and a 22 in prop. I designed the wings to be taken off with a clamp and a bolt per side, as well as the servo cable. The wingspan is 11 1/2 feet and it is 8 foot long. We have maidend it and it did fly. It is very portable and can even fit in the back of a Honda accord! It flies fantastic as well I hope you like it!
I will post a flight video and more build photos later.

But is it slow? I am an old man, and I run faster than my original GWS slow stick glides

It is not as slow I can still keep up with it I would say it fly's at 7-10 mph

I wanted to build a massive slow stick for FliteFest this year but didn't get to it. Hoping to do it for next year....

I was just going to wing mine scaling up the size based on the size/thickness difference of a sheet of foamboard vs the size/thickness of a sheet of insulation board.

Are you planning on attending Flite Fest next year?

We only did not go this year because we are vegetable farmers and are very busy in the summer, but now I have my license and a car I can take myself there.

How big were you planning to go xl size or bigger, ours uses a monster motor.

Not sure of size yet, but BuddyRC is less than 10 minutes from my house, so I can get things super small to bigger than I would ever need.

I am in Columbus and have a similar drive time.
