My latest Slow Stick creations.

[HappyRCFlyer]

I kept things simple this time, it's meant for easy to build out of foam or balsa only version and for those that want for a more sporty type of flying then the original GWS Slowstick version and my other variants I created based upon it's measurements.

The airfoil is fat which creates a decent amount of air displacement that helps to tame it down in the air, rather swimming in it type of thing.

Kit's for both the foam core wing based one and all balsa based ones at https://happyrcflyer.com/slow-stick-sport

This overall, a fun direction for me, neat to deal with simple lines and the rest like that for a relaxing change of pace being an advanced builder.

I'm showing the all stick and covering version without the aileron servo's and control horns in place.

Hey Happy RC,

Can you tell us what motor and esc you use for your slow stick ?

That would certainly be cool and easy to run the LED's through.

Hey Happy RC,

Can you tell us what motor and esc you use for your slow stick ?

2212 1400 and 30 amp esc is what was used on it, which is way more then enough power. I usually fly them at 1/4 - 1/3 throttle.

2212 is pretty BIG! I was thinking these were smaller!

 

[HappyRCFlyer]

I also use the 2208 size cans as well and I buy extra shafts to switch out when the original ones get bent. These are common for Park Flyer scale, my 250 scale/lines use a much smaller Emax motor.

I have a repeat customer do a request for a symmetrical airfoil on it so I designed them up last night. They are using the same parts as the original B version with the only difference being the width of the aileron seating section being slightly wider.

I also geared it up for the photo shoot along with.

Hey Happy RC,

I have a question for you. When you receive an order, did you email your customer saying you received the order, even if paid by PayPal ?

Thank you for any help,

I usually just send the tracking information once it's shipped, Paypal sends a notification upon receipt of funds when things are processed initially. The account runs under my main company, Espresso Outfitters, which is shown Happy RC Flyer being a division of from the website.

Thank you.

I'm cutting the stock up and boxing it over the weekend to get them out to both of you guys that ordered. This is an honor to be part of your building experience.

I had a shitstorm happen last week which forced a delay on the non Ebay orders. I am wrapping things up now, also, should be doing a write up along how to avoid monsters with ebay buyers making an absolute mess of things for us sellers.

I am going with the next generation of wing formats for you guys too upon, so you are getting a little more refinement in the process. I'm sharing the newly created wing assembly diagram for you to review.

 

[HappyRCFlyer]

I forgot to include the ailerons and 3d printed control horns in a shot I was going to potentially use for showing the newer kit contents so I gotta take a new photo op tomorrow before this ships out. It being taken outdoors, the sun was too bright which didn't give it a more accurate exposure so have to take a new shot of it all anyway. Also, I came up with another option for those that want absolute bare bones to work from since they have scratch building skills, I came up with this package, with just the wing cores, covering and templates for the rest of the parts. It's of course something also will be on the cheap to order and would not be a bad idea to add onto the original full kit to have two planes.

 

[HappyRCFlyer]

I got the full kit photo's done up before shipping this one out today. I will be phasing out the 1/4" dowels for the F version to partially cut down on the extra shipping costs, partially to keep the kit costs down and one less thing I have to babysit, they are things that can be found in any crafts store so they really don't need to be there on the kits end.

I still need to get some better close up shots on the foam, people will think they are flawless and perfect like the injected foam wings, they are not and I don't want people to think they are.

I sent you a pm with the tracking number, it will be scanned into the usps system tomorrow.

Hi Happy RC,

I have a question for you. I hope this is the best place for the question. I am dry fitting the parts together on the Slow Stick F version. I have looked over the pdf files and could not find the the distance that the rubber band mounts. What is the distance from the motor mount to the first rubber band mount (1/4" dowel) ?

Thank you for any help,
Al
