Today I have started the main wing build! There are no lay down type planes with this build! Millennium dose provide a build manual and there are two or three build sites on RCGroups for the SSX Slow Stick Trainer. This is just one of them that I use!
https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/show....php?t=1182842 I am building the Trainer wing! Which means this wing will have some dihedral which will have the look of the old full scale Quicksilver Ultralight! Rob T. Make sure to carefully follow the instructions, it very easy to make mistakes! ![]() |

Seems like your trike/airplane combo there is going to be a faster flying "ultralight". The balsa built-up wings have to be a bit heavier than the cheesy GWS stock foam wings and a bit shorter like you mentioned. I'm wondering about that very thick and symmetrical airfoil too compared to the stock 2D wing. You should still have relatively low wing loading numbers but I bet it will take more speed than your typical slow stick for level flight. Without any dihedral in that wing it would be down-right aerobatic and even 3D with enough power.
Can't wait to see the final results. |

Hi Randy,
Not really sure what this thing is going to do! As far as the wing goes I do have the wing from my first SSX Slow Stick build that is flat with no dihedral that will fit on this build as well. Sorta got the best of both worlds because the wings will interchange! Believe me or not I am trying to do a small scale mockup of the full scale Quicksilver Ultralight! (just for fun) I do think the Cobra 2217/16 1180Kv will make a good power system for this bird! This is all just an experiment, and not sure what will happen! ![]() ![]() Rob T |

Very nice covering job. I have a 100" wingspan Stinson Reliant that is almost ready for you to come over and cover for me. I'll let you know when I'm ready for you to get that done for me. |
