Anyone know of online stores that have slow sticks in stock? So far I only see eBay which is a bit pricey

Razor we have them in stock. We have Speed 300, speed 400 in yellow. We have NPS in yellow & Red, and we have the brushless Slow Sticks in yellow and red butt they aren't currently listed on the web site.

Im trying to make sure i order all the right stuff i need to set it up


Slow Stick NPS red 28$
5x 9g Micro servos 1.95$ ea
Sti SERVO "Y" HARNESS - 12" lightweight - 32 gauge wireck 2$
Mount - Aluminum Outrunner Mount for 10mm Sticks 9.95$
15x GWS 9047 Propeller ONE GREY 9" Slow Fly Prop 1.40 $ ea
Power Up 370 Sport Outrunner Brushless Motor 13.95$
HURC 18 Amp Brushless Motor ESC 13.95$

Thanks for any input im currently in afghanistan and really dont want to have to wait for more than one shippment
I have a 30 c 1300 mah 11.1 battery
and a dynum 6 ch rx/tx

the 5 servos. that would be rud and ele plus two for ail. and one for a bomb drop.

ailerons and camera platform i know they wont be very effective but i plane to add them and take most of the v out of the wing but its really because they are on sale right now and its a good price

so the 5th servo would be for camera pan. cool.

I leave the stock "V" to the wing with my SS equipped with ailerons. The trick to learn rudder control on a USA mode 2 transmitter is to fly with just the left stick as a 2 Chanel. With proper trim a SS Will climb with increase in power and descend with decrease in power. Impress you flying buddies by doing figure 8's and such with your right hand in your pocket

Kafie, don't forget to grab an external BEC, as the integrated linear BEC of the HURC 18A ESC will not be up to the task to power all them servos.

I would also recommend a 400- or 450-size motor over the 370. Something with a low enough kV to swing a 10" prop. Slow Sticks like big props.

I'm not disagreeing but I'd like to point out the lifting ability of the SS with very moderate power, I flew my 30 oz SS with camera on a 2410-09Y motor. It's an older design that I can't recommend but it's only 130W. I do believe I used a GWS 1047 prop. I can't find all the specs on the Power Up 370 but I agree with the bigger props. You need more thrust than speed.

I agree with Phoam about the 400-size motor, especially with the added weight you plan to carry, and a 10 x 4.7 prop. Get a few extra props. A spare motor would be a good idea also if your supply line is long.

You don't need an external BEC. Counting servos is not a valid argument. You will never have all six servos active simultaneously.

Slow Sly Prop or Direct drive?

Change in parts list
Power Up 450 Slofly Outrunner Brushless Motor
HURC 22 Amp Brushless Motor ESC
15x GWS 1047 Propellers ONE GRAY 10" Slow Fly Prop
Im moving from a 4 ch war bird that was never made for a begginer or any one with out flying and airplane setup
so im hoping its a bit easier haha

I'd change one thing. Get rid of that GWS prop. An APC slow fly prop will get you significantly more efficiency. At higher RPM the GWS props get excessive blade flutter, giving you wasted amps from increased drag with no increase in thrust. A study by a prominent university singled out GWS props as notably inefficient.

Question I have no idea how to fly is it that bad i mean its double the price and the props only ever last 1 flight maybe 2 as it is so ??? help

He intends to use only five servos, but anytime you're making a cordinated turn using rudder + elevator + ailerons, power is being supplied to four servos, and that's enough to overload a linear BEC. It's been said that those 9-gram servos are kinda power-hungry too. Personally, I wouldn't run more than three servos off of a linear BEC, no matter if they are used simultaneously or not. I like to elimate the likelihood of a brownout.
