GWS Slow Stick

Sorry - Sold Out. But we do have the new Silly Sticks, click here.  Genuine GWS Slow Sticks - These kits are brand new as Aloft Hobbies has teamed up with GWS to bring these little babies back into production. We just could not let these wonderful planes disappear.  You will get all of the normal airframe parts along with a brushless motor mount (upgrade) to assemble the good ol' Classic Slow Stick. These are as complete as we can provide them at this time. As far as we know, we have found the very last sources of GWS parts available in the world today. While the Slow Stick is a superb beginner plane, it is also a hoot for experienced pilots.  Super slow flying speeds are the main reason this plane is such a good trainer. Slow speeds give you time to think, time to react, time to correct mistakes. If you are a beginner and are going to learn on this plane, build it as light as possible. Keeping the weight down is what makes it fly slow and avoid damage when things go wrong. Once you have learned the basics, you have the option to modify your slow stick. Weight is not as critical as it was while you were learning, you can add weight now in the form of modifications that are a whole bunch of fun, not to mention they enrich your understanding of model aviation. "What mods" you say? We have seen aileron, spoiler, bi-plane, semi scale, twin boom, float, dual ducted fan, larger motors, higher capacity batteries, you name it. Just google slow stick mods to see some very creative ideas that can help you reinvent your Slow Stick. Here is a fun video of a young lady taking her first flights with a Slow Stick. :) And a slightly modified Slow Stick with ailerons and our power system.
