The GWS Slow Stick is a great platform for almost any electric RC activity. It's made with low cost in mind and it works fairly well right out of the box. However, did you ever wonder what it would be like to have one setup with all the nice hardware? On this page, you'll find those goodies. Improved motor mounting systems, control horns, landing gear choices and etc... Also, there are many parts here to make reconfiguring the kit into other types of models easy. Ever wonder how they fly V tail? Would tricycle gear be cool? Want a great camera mount? How about a twin, tri-motor, quad-motor, 5-motor or even multi ducted fans?

Do one up with all the nice parts one time and you'll never go back.

More complex upgrades come with an instruction sheet. The simpler stuff, all you really need is the web photo to know how to put them together. Some items are not complex enough for instructions but might include a few pointers in the description. Generally, I sqeeze the kits together first, then wick thin CA into any joints requiring adhesive. Nothing here requires any other type of adhesives. Obviously others may be used if you prefer as adhesive choice is non-critical. Construction is straight forward with most items having only 1-4 parts to make them up.

Extensive E-Zone discussion of these parts and many hybrid projects here.

Horizontal Stab Stiffener Plates

Horizontal Stab Stiffener Plates

Ever crease your horizontal stab in a crash or flip on landing? I've made this mistake a time or two and the reason why we designed this part. Not a bad idea to put it on from the beginning. A great way to repair an already damaged stab section. Made from 1/64th aircraft ply. Each package contains 2 parts. Glue to the surface of your stab. Top and bottom or just one side if you like. Factory mounting holes are already pre-drilled and ready to go. The thin ply is still flexible and is designed to prevent the stab from creasing at the boom when stressed too far.

If your building a canard, this part would really be a must have as the canard is under much greater flight loads than a horizontal stab. Also not to be overlooked is anything you run the model into hits the canard first. Save yourself some troubles later on by using this part now.

Suggested method is to glue to surface(s) with a thin smear of GWS's provide glue or CA, center carefully and weigh down with a modest weight like a book against a flat surface until dry.

V-Tail Stab Stiffener Plates

Use to stiffen up the mounting points on your V-Tail sections. It's possible to crease the V-tail foam parts if you flip the model over harshly on landing. This part set will fix that damage or if instaled to begin with perhaps eliminate the failure all together. Super light weight, made from 1/64 aircraft ply. Each package contains 2 cut sheets. Mounting holes are pre-drilled for easy mount up.

Part may be used on one or both sides of your stab sections. You decide. If you plan on using on both sides, 2 sets must be ordered.

Suggested method is to glue to surface(s) with a thin smear of GWS's provide glue or CA, center carefully and weigh down with a modest weight like a book against a flat surface until dry.

Slow Stick Balsa Tail Group

Slow Stick Balsa Tail Group

Tired of your Slow Stick tail bending, flapping in the wind at your higher than normal speed? Wishing for more rigid control? Here is your ultimate tail upgrade!! This tail will not flutter and is many times more rugged than the stock tail. If your worried about tail loads lifting heavy weights, flying fast or just plain love the idea of Slow Sticks but hate foam, welcome to heaven.

A fully self jigging stick built tail. You can press this together and shake it up in the air hard as you like, nothing is falling apart. I'm tempted to cover one without glue for experimental (show off ;-) purposes. However, I do recommend you glue it together. Simply piece the jigsaw together, hold to flat surface and wick thin CA into all the joints, bevel the elevator and rudder 45 degrees for tape hinges (or 90 degree points for CA hinges), round out the edges, surface sand, cover, mount, hook up control rods and fly.

Kit comes as complete package with our custom upgrade horn set and vertical stab mount system. ($6 upgrades value) and instructional drawing. Parts are exact stock shape (except no hard to cover scallops) and hinge lines. Laser cut from 3/16 balsa right here in the good ol' USA. Mounting holes and control horn holes are all pre-made. Your tail will go on straight and true. Additionally, the stab mount has provisions for moving the stab forward from stock location in order to give you more elevator throw if your building an aerobatic monster. Fully compatible with Stevens Aero or Millennium upgrade kits.

Don't forget to get some transparent covering for this kit, she is a real beauty when complete.

Carbon Wing Rod Set for Slow Stick

Carbon Wing Rod Set for Slow Stick

Here is a set of real carbon solid rods to stiffen up your slow stick wings. The factory rods, regardless if they are black or white are fiberglass. These are much stiffer holding your dihedral closer to your setting in flight. Great for models enduring a little toughness for camera work or big motor systems. This item is all 4 rods to do one wing, a pair of front and rear.
