You should get an rc truck and add Retractible drone arms so it can fly then drive or drive then fly u could even use a nitro rc truck with a Generator attached to the drive chain so wen u use nitro to drive it charge the drone battery 🤔
Before I watch this video, which by the way I wait for every week with anticipation, I want to say something about my simple scout kit. Thoroughly enjoyed building it and painting it was the most fun part. Absolutely the first airplane I have built in the last 30 years. Learned a lot of new skills. It's not perfect but I love it and I will be trying another one shortly to see if I can do it really nice and clean like Josh does it with no hanger rash before it even leaves the hanger lol thanks guys for a great way of enjoying flight. John from Canada
There's another way to make a simple plane with arrow shafts: Two arrow shafts as an A frame, canard on the front, twin vert stabs at the back ends, big wing across the pair of booms around the CG. You could hang twin motors off the tails, or a single motor in pusher config, attached to the trailing edge center of the main wing. One of the earliest free flight champ planes was a twin pusher rubber band design of this type, very slow and stable.
the crazy thing is this looks almost exactly like a plane i made 8 or so years ago, 3d printing a wing mount for a long balsa stick. the plane never flew well, but got me into 3d printing enough that i can make good firewalls for FT foamboard planes now
I still have 2 of the original GWS Slow Sticks. They’re both massively overpowered but by far the best slow flyers I own for a relaxing day at the field.
I've got a couple of questions. First, I went to my local Walmart to pickup a carbon arrow shaft and they didn't have a single arrow in stock in the store. I went to a local sporting goods store and they only sell arrows by the 1/2 dozen or more. No singles. I checked Amazon for just CF tubes and they want $19.00 to ship a $9 dollar rod. Where do I find these $3.00 7mm OD arrows? Secondly, now that Flight Fest is done, can you do an in-depth build video? The plans don't call out the rod length, or placement of the 3D printed parts.
When I was a wee sprog, my Dad built a glider wtih a body made of a half a yard stick , balsa wings, and a V-type tail. He built as a fuselage for my Jetex engine. Before attaching the rocket, we took it out the the prairie beside the army base. Dad launched the glider, it caught a thermal and went away... way away... this reminded me of then... thanx!
This is exactly the plane i have been looking for ... sub 250g ... but need more info like where are the plans, where are the STL 3DP files and is there a speedbuild kit
This plane looks like a lot of fun to build and fly. Is there any chance that you will be selling the 3D printed parts or will your plans be just foam board only?
are there different sizes of Arrow shafts I had some I use for spars and they're too big for the 3d printed parts I tried to shave a bevel to get the shaft started but still wont fit. any thoughts?
I agree with "graywoulf". I think that there would be a great opportunity to market such a simple kit, and it would also be an inexpensive way for a beginner to learn to fly and get started into such a fun hobby.
So............If i dont have one of those 3D printers I cant make this plane ?.....I want to make it Big.... Like 66 Inches wing length or close to that ? what is available to buy or make for that size model ? Any way to make it 2 times your size that you built I have different size motors an E-flite Power 32 770Kv or a E-flite EFLM 1305 Park 400 Outrunner 920Kv....(Smaller size) and a 40 & 60amp ESC ...I have no real clue as to what they might power and how to figure out what this would need to make. I have to have this big to be able to see it !.....What Can you suggest for this larger size Please I like slow Fryers not good with speed right now ...!
Where can I get the plans for this stick? I signed up for the news letter when this video came out but have not received any news letter with the plans. Does it come to my email address?
Looks like great fun but unless I'm missing something I could do with some measurements for placement of the 3D printed parts? (Distance from front to front of first wing seat etc..) Also, as Arrow shafts aren't as available here in UK what's the diameter so we can order carbon tube?
HELP please. Joined Flite Test FTCA and downloaded the stl files to print the 3d parts but could not find the description for the build. Things like motor size, prop size, wing info where to position the parts on the arrow and rig up. Can anybody help me with that type of information. Thanks
I absolutely love the slow stick. For those of us who don't have a 3D printer, are you going to sell the 3D printed parts as a kit? That would be great if possible. Thanks in advance.
It's a dollar and a quarter! Who's got that kind of money?! I love these projects as much as the big warbirds. I have everything on hand to build this with the kids already, another plus. Thanks.
Back to basics. Thanks flitetest! Love you guys, but I don't want to watch any more ground effect episodes. This type of content, foam board designs, will keep me coming back.
I knew about the FAA registration requirements, but I didn’t know they extended to model airplanes! Now I know what to do when I get an RC plane in the future.
@@jppalm3944 It's called making a boring video that nobody wants to watch. This is just a silly sponsor video + FAA junk that nobody wants to care about. 4 years ago they were making lighthearted and fun videos that actually focused on the plane. czcams.com/video/kye_z0GifIM/video.html
The form letter I have seen isn't great in my opinion. Compose your own and make sure to mention the fact that STEM education, getting beginners interested in UAS construction, operation, and innovation in this field are going to be difficult when the participants either need to pay for remote ID or remain below 250g with expensive components and exotic materials. If you want kids to get involved they need to experience success with what they build now and then and see it fly more then once. You can see in the video how hard it is even for the pros to stay below 250g and the other option of buying light RC airplanes is hardly innovative. 250g is too low!
Is it possible to buy the arrow shaft parts?? You may have said so in the video but I missed it if so. I do not have a 3D printer but want to have a sub 250gr airplane to stay under big brother’s ugly rulings! Thanks FT!
I have absent for some time. When checking in to see what is new, I do not see anything with Alex. Is he still with FliteTest ? Just curious. What's up with Josh, Alex, and anything about the original crew. Thanks.

Finally, something really in the spirit of the slow-stick! I saw that Slow stick ultra on Horizon and threw a fit! $200!
i Miss GWS big time they were ahead of their time
I just wanted to say, everyone should have a friend just like Dave.
Thanks! I agree! ... oh, wait, you meant the guy in the video... yea, him too! 😏

flite test has done more for the hobby than anyone ever ! bless their hearts and thanks so much 😀

@5:05
30 second black screen - probably the ad break
yeah I was wondering what that was
should have been b roll from flite fest I suspet, but something went bad with the import.
When I was a wee sprog, my Dad built a glider wtih a body made of a half a yard stick , balsa wings, and a V-type tail. He built as a fuselage for my Jetex engine.

They said Near the end, through their newslestter.
Anyone else just get a black screen from 5:03-5:53?
This plane looks like a lot of fun to build and fly. Is there any chance that you will be selling the 3D printed parts or will your plans be just foam board only?
Love the slow stick, this one looks really fun to fly!!!
PLEASE MAKE THE WRIGHT BOTHERS FIRST AIRPLANE!!
I’m having trouble finding the DIY Arrow flyer. Can you help me find the plans and electronics please?
half the vid was sponsorship of one sort or another?? holy moly
are there different sizes of Arrow shafts I had some I use for spars and they're too big for the 3d printed parts I tried to shave a bevel to get the shaft started but still wont fit. any thoughts?
Bring back the vlogs with Alex and Stefan!
Josh! You can’t pimp your newsletter then NOT leave a link in the description on how and where to sign up for it!! YOU’RE KILLING ME, SMALLS!
the link is in the description
I don't see dimensions on the plans for the placement of the mounts? Am I missing something?
i have one of those GWS slow sticks, good back yard flyer
I agree with "graywoulf". I think that there would be a great opportunity to market such a simple kit, and it would also be an inexpensive way for a beginner to learn to fly and get started into such a fun hobby.
Great video!
You should get a B&M Black Widow telescoping fishing pole and build a giant version. The pole is great for large stick planes.

Need a build video with dimensions !
How can we get that 250g -> 1kg thing started in Canada?
really great model and super light wow!
Why do I feel like they will make a video in 2025 titled "We built an rc rocket that can actually fly to Mars!"
When will we see the plans for this build? anxiously waiting to build one
Where can I get the plans for this stick? I signed up for the news letter when this video came out but have not received any news letter with the plans. Does it come to my email address?
One long commercial . . .
They are a business, it’s literally their job 😂
Looks like great fun but unless I'm missing something I could do with some measurements for placement of the 3D printed parts? (Distance from front to front of first wing seat etc..) Also, as Arrow shafts aren't as available here in UK what's the diameter so we can order carbon tube?
.211 - .422 ~ roughly
Where can I download plans and gcode files at? Great job.
I have a Hobby King Slow Stick and it is an amazing airplane!
Wait... you guys have been registering your planes? I tight that was a joke. 😂
HELP please. Joined Flite Test FTCA and downloaded the stl files to print the 3d parts but could not find the description for the build. Things like motor size, prop size, wing info where to position the parts on the arrow and rig up. Can anybody help me with that type of information. Thanks
Absolutely fantastic!
I was just thinking it's been a while since y'all did anything with gassers.
Content idea: try turning an old string trimmer engine into a gasser!
I absolutely love the slow stick. For those of us who don't have a 3D printer, are you going to sell the 3D printed parts as a kit? That would be great if possible. Thanks in advance.
What power pack did yall use?
It's a dollar and a quarter! Who's got that kind of money?! I love these projects as much as the big warbirds. I have everything on hand to build this with the kids already, another plus. Thanks.
Is there any possibility of getting the 3D printer files for the printed parts?
I love it
Where can i find the 3d print files??
247! Sounded like you were trying to keep it 103 legal ;-)
Now 3d print a Quicksilver fuselage
So where do we get the plans?
Just got all the parts printed for one with three, 6mmx6mmx300mm square carbon fiber tubes. Wish I had thought of the arrows!
Thanks looks fun
Any chance you could bring flite fest to the uk one day? Would be awesome guys
I still have a GWS Slow-Stick in the box! Had plans for a camera stick, but quad-copters shelved that! :)
Back to basics. Thanks flitetest! Love you guys, but I don't want to watch any more ground effect episodes. This type of content, foam board designs, will keep me coming back.
How do we get the plans for the wing and tail ? Have all the parts coming from radical rc
Where can I get there Stl's from?
thingi_verse "flying stick"
5:04 - 5:30 is blank
I love you guys
Will this work with the spare parts (wing mounts etc?) from the Horizon Hobby plane? I don't have access to a 3D printer.
👍😎👍thanks for the video
Awesome 😎👍🏼
I wish we had more groups like the FCA in Canada, considering how TC and MAAC are having the issues.
I knew about the FAA registration requirements, but I didn’t know they extended to model airplanes! Now I know what to do when I get an RC plane in the future.
Yep! That's a common misunderstanding. A "drone" to the FAA includes quadcopters AND model aircraft.
Re invented the slow stick huh lol lol
Would have been cool to do the wings out of lwpla. Honestly could design the entire thing to be 3d printed including the arrow shaft.
Hey, I think I recognize that white and orange fowl flier in the combat clip
Hey guys. Are the files for the 3D printed parts available yet? Thx.
Motor ESC and battery used? I don't have a 3D printer but have a big box of sewing thread spools I can turn into wing and equipment mounting points.
What if I don't have access to a 3d printer?
Can I hunt whitetail with this? 😂
What happened to the hovercraft project? Been almost a month since the last update?
5:03-5:34 is just a black screen with music
Will the plans be available by the first weekend in may? I wanna build one with my buddy for his birthday
not a single newsletter to be found
Cool. Slow stick with inav I’m in
Use that thing to make kamikaze attacks on ships!
Hate to say it but they're was probably more advertising than content in this one. I'm out.
It's called making payroll, paying for overhead.
These are not free volunteers

Just skip it you don’t need to watch it
@@RyanOnDrums Whoa wait hold on. You can skip through ads?!?! Holy crap dude you’re a genius.
@@RyanOnDrums who do you think doesn’t already know this? Why would we want to skip through more than half a video? Why are you even here right now?
Can y’all at flite test make an XF-85 Goblin?! A neat prototype “parasite fighter” tested in WW2
Over regulation is always a hot topic. Sadly with activists and lobbyists RC flight as a hobby is on the losing side.
Link to files??
Why can't I post a link to the plans?
the whole video was one great big advertisement
The hobbytown in Reynoldsburg Ohio is sitting on 3 slow ultra sticks right now! Let me know if guys are interested so you can pump those videos out.
You should try to make a rc M2-R1.
F18 vs f14 with airsoft guns I live in Texas this would really make my day
advertise-test!

Feel like I missed how I can get those sweet 3D print models to build my own stick plane.
nice
Was that Messina from Loggins and Messina?
Who would win
$200 aircraft with a gyro receiver
or
$1 sheet of foamboard and an arrow
Anyone know the Range of their beginner P-40?
日本は１００ｇ以上で登録！飛ばす場所が無いとは言え、１００ｇでは作るのも難しい！！

All gone. Went to new careers & jobs. Sad but that’s progress.
