Slow Stick Wing Build - DIY Foam Board Wing

[@who8dapple]

Amazing build. I’m going to incorporate what I learned from your video to scratch build a 1909 Santos-Dumont Demoiselle. Thank You

[@Qromer]

Sounds like a really cool project! Let me know how it turns out!

[@ayitsyaboi]

Thanks for this. Parts are printing right now and I'm off to grab some arrow shafts in the morning.

[@Qromer]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes!

This is an awesome build. I still have 5 boxes of GWS slow sticks, 3 GWS P51 Mustangs, 4 GWS F4U Corsair, 2 GWS Islanders, and 2 GWS Formosa including the ones I already built.. I stocked up on them when a local Hobby shop called J&M Hobby House was closing down years ago. I got them for 19 dollars each. Gosh, I miss that hobby shop. It was in an old 1940s building and the family who owned it and ran it were incredible Hobbyists and friends.

Very nice ! Simple is good ! ❤😉🙃😎 NZ

[@Qromer]

Simple is best, thanks for watching!

Way to keep these classic designs alive David.

[@Qromer]

Thanks Jake!

Thank you David, very instructional. I've built 2 of these now and love them both, and now that I know how to build the wing, I see a 3rd in my near future. I've written a file for the landing gear, and you're welcome to it if you think it has any merit. I can send pictures if you like. Thanks again Don

[@Qromer]

Yes please send me the pictures. Thanks for your comments

[@DonTimmons-kh4dz]

@@Qromer Posted pictures to Printables and gave you 5 stars. Wouldn't let me post until I selected a printer, I got dazed and confused and just gave up, perhaps it wasn't meant to be. You still get 5 stars here, thanks for all your help. Don

Wow, what a great construction tutorial! Very in depth. Thanks for sharing!

[@Qromer]

Thanks chiparooo -- I hate watching it back as I feel like I am too long winded. Thanks for the feedback.

[@christianfuller1847]

I got some useful tips for my next build! Also, I can’t wait to start flying the slow stick. Thanks David!

[@Qromer]

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

[@cip-shopcowley1658]

Really a huge master class, thanks for sharing 😃

[@Qromer]

My pleasure!

[@paulmeyer9161]

Very nice, thank you

[@ReverseMediaX]

amazing! What are the lowest and highest speeds of this plane?

[@ReverseMediaX]

wing span and wing load?

[@Qromer]

In my OSD -- it is typical to see 10 to 20 mph.

[@Qromer]

I have not calculated the wing loading but it is super light.

[@ethanfreeman23]

How do you make the left wing with the tiled pdf? It only has the plans for the right one.

[@Qromer]

The right and left wing are identical, you can use the one template, just flip it over and then mark where you cut the relief lines.

[@Deafgreekboy]

Loved the build. I’m going to try this! What’s the background song?

[@Qromer]

Thanks Deafgreekboy, I hope you build one! As for the song, it is one of the FPV related AI songs I have been generating. Thanks for noticing. :)

[@Brock_Samson1776]

Where can I get the front wing and rear wing standoffs?

[@Qromer]

They are included with all the STL files. Check the link in the description.

[@ernestofernandesviana9890]

Sir, I have a wing model NACA 4415, with a higher aspect ratio than yours. 5 degrees of dihedral on each side, WCL of 6. Do you think it would fly similarly to yours? Can I fly with ailerons? I have a motor with 1kg of thrust. Thanks for the video.

[@Qromer]

Certainly give it a try. Changing out wings on this thing is super easy. I have some with Balsa Wings as well and ailerons. They do just fine. I prefer the setup you see here though.

[@rayduke7433]

I don’t have a 3D printer. Any chance that you sell the 3D printed kits?

[@Qromer]

Sorry, not at this time.

[@nucleo1772]

qromer what is the proper name of this tough black foam board??? I have one from dolar store and its very delicate... anyway what foamboard do you recomend for last longer ( maybe 5mm XPS floor isulation :P)

[@Qromer]

I actually like the flite test maker foam the best. Sorry I don't know the proper name of the black foam board that I have but it is thicker and a little heavier than the stuff from the Dollar tree. It actually has a black foam core.

Hello my friend from Greece wear find the PDF file 😊

[@Qromer]

It is on the same listing under the section "Other Files" just below the STL files.
