I loved my GWS Slow Stick so much! It was my first successful attempt at flying RC. I had a couple other brushed, NiMH planes that I tried to get into the air, but the Slow Stick was the first one that was forgiving enough to fly with all of the disadvantages: Brushed, NiMH, and my meager build, setup, and flying skills at that time. Once I put a Tower Pro brushless outrunner and a LiPo battery on it, I was hooked on RC planes. I got a Parkzone T-28 not long after that I have hundreds of flights on, and I still take it out of retirement from time to time. Considering that the GWS Slow Stick is a little hard to pick up these days, this fits the bill nicely. There's something special about these stick frame planes, they are just so easy and carefree to fly. I wish they would sell it as a kit though! Building my old Slow Stick was a really cool, formative experience.

LOL! I entered this hobby in the late 1970's so I have LOTS of radios! I have to admit, with the invention of computer radios, it doesn't make sense to own a transmitter for every single plane, it's a waste of money these days. The majority of my radios are older ones on 72Mhz and they all need new battery packs. I'll probably throw them away whenever I get around to replacing the servos and receivers. Funny comment...

I remember in 2005 I was the first person with a Spektrum 2.4ghz DX6 radio at our flying field. The old timers were still afraid to fly when I was flying and they made me make a pin for the board that said 2.4ghz. They said they would never trust that technology. They still tried to blame me for their crashes. It took a couple years before they switched. lol

If you think the slow ultra stick should be renamed to the ultra slow stick, too, give this comment a like. 👍 You may have noticed our reviews are changing a bit. Our goal is to not rush out a review without having owned an airframe for a considerable length of time. This is to ensure that our community gets a real look at what it’s like owning an airframe, not just how it is fresh out of the box after a few flights. As a result, this review might feel complaint heavy. The reality is, we’re simply trying to be thorough. We really do enjoy and recommend the Slow Ultra Stick…or Ultra Slow Stick? 📦✈

I HAVE BEEN calling it the "Ultra Slow Stick". Idk what horizon is up to, but if your PARTICULAR to a SPECIFIC type of wing design, they have been releasing ALOT of intriguing products the past few months.... I was broke enough, so if anyone sends anything, fly it right into my mailbox please. Been with horizon for a WHILE, and have even had warranty coverage issues lately, and they were THE BEST for service up until the recent changes IMHO. Traxxas has this rep. For being kinda odd, yet they sent my son a Xmaxx motor and APOLOGIZED with a hand written letter in regards to a Xmaxx situation, well OUT of warranty and likely a one off manufacturing defect on a moto shaft, paired with back-ordered parts. We have seen flights, and nothing against anyone's else, but we wanna see what it would like like in OUR HANDS. Thats where your content comes in! Another awesome vid. Stop reading my mind, and I think you bounced one too many in this time, lol. Best regards, AARC.

'complaint heavy" should be considered as 'pure,honest, owners review". Wich is better than just another low key sponsored video that are abundant. I mainly fly diy quads and stopped flying fixed wings I tried for maybe one summer. Your channel is actually worth watching and a great way to get in to the how and why. I started out with a 3d printed airplane (modelA) and naturally bought a FMS super easy V4 that is now awaiting FPV. Having watched A LOT of your videos made it clear a high wing bush plane is my way to go lol.

Fun vid. I love my SUS. Don’t let the landing gear thing scare you. You gotta really screw up a landing to break them. I’ve broken a few doing FPV landings uphill into tall weeds, where I would expect most planes’ landing gear to break. The good part is it just snaps off and doesn’t destroy the bottom of the fuselage like so may other planes. And it’s able to swap out in seconds with no tools. And replacements are cheap. I do lots of touch and goes and high speed taxi when I’m on a proper grass runway and even my road, LOS and FPV, and less than great landings with no problem. It only breaks on the real “oof” ones. It’s much heavier than the stock GwS slow stick, but after you mod the GWS to have ailerons and more sturdy landing gear and moderate battery and all that, it’s nearly this heavy anyway.

Another great video boys Thankyou! I just got back into the hobby after a 20yr break. I had a nitro trainer as a kid but it just wasn’t feasible logistically to get to the field and fly the damn thing. I never learned to fly it. I bought the ultra stick recently as a leap of faith and it has been awesome, it’s the park flyer I wanted as a kid but technology wasn’t quite there at my price point. It really is an awesome plane and I am having a lot of fun doing bush style flying. It’s made me comfortable enough to dust off my old hobbico nitro trainer and see what it can really do. Again awesome channel!

2003 and GWS brings out the SlowStik as a larger, more wind capable platform the PicoStik pioneeered. One of my local hobbyist buddies had established a name for himself on RCGroups forum ( The EZone back then..) for all of the mods he made of this kit, first brushless conversions, twin motors, biplanes, triplanes, canards, AP platform, ailerons and pitcherons, flaps, 8 IPS drives, 4 CD-ROM kit motors. He'd go into the hobby shop and come home with 4 SS kits. When Balsa Products brought out their $18 BP-21Y brushless motor it was the perfect upgrade for GWS's short lived EPS300 and EPS350 can motor geardrives. Someone needs to bring back the original Slow Stick, these ARF wannabes are pale comparisons.

We don’t mind the receiver - our issue is that you’re forced into Horizon’s tech (AS3X and SAFE) out of the box and that no plug and play option was offered. The reality is that Jason has openly stated that not too far in the future there won’t be plug and play options available anymore on any future E-Flite aircraft since they don’t sell well. Makes sense for business, sure, but sucks for folks who would rather use bare bones receivers and not have to unlock their receivers to use them as they prefer. All personal preference ultimately - just frustrating.

It looks like a great parkflyer, something that even a beginner could take and grow with and have fun. Its got some strange quirks for sure; a plastic gear legs instead of piano is a silly misstep. AS3X and SAFE really is over saturated in horizon. Its a great luxury tool if desired, but otherwise makes modest craft so expensive. This would be a steal at $150 bnf or $180 pnf. $200 one way has a lot of competition outside of Horizon Planes. Dead horse, horizon planes are expensive 🥴 I just remember the two thousand teens. Otherwise neat simple rc plane

No shame for running a high amount of expo. I run 70% on my aerobatic planes in high rate because I’d otherwise be over controlling the plane when I’m not jamming the sticks in the corner hoping it produces something that looks cool. I normally run 100, 66 and 33% on my triple rates and 70, 50 and 30% expo with the 66% rate being the manual recommended high rate. I have higher throws if needed with a real soft control and a lower rate if the recommended high rate is a bit twitchy on a maiden.

I think Horizon needs to sell a carbon fiber kit along with the wheel struts, so that we can replace our landing gear on our own without having to be shipped every time

Just to clarify, the gear on this plane is indeed carbon. You definitely could buy equivalent carbon rod as replacements rather than their gear replacement alternatively.

@@TailHeavyProductions I agree, but the strut assembly that holds the wheels themselves are glued to the carbon. So the wheel struts would be needed to make your own. the axles just thread in, so that could be reused along with the wheels

Good on you THP.... yep Horizon has always been a bit THIN SKINNED. Yes we all experience the same quality issues with their models. Some are still great, some short lived and directly into the garbage. I have been a Horizon and Tower fan for decades.... I have no issue with truthful reviews... all the good and all the bad. Love it... keep on doing what you guys do. Peace.

My PNP Super Cub from FMS was $185 with a coupon and seems way more capable than this. And i’ve slammed it into the ground a number of times and the gear has held up perfectly fine. This stick is neat, but for $199 I think it’s about $75 overpriced

Screw horizon sending you planes after they are out in production, I think they need to send you their products before they are released so you can break it all the different ways and they can adjust things.

I can’t say anything good about the slow ultra stick. Landing gear broke on the first flight. Second flight the plastic joiner for the tail broke. It’s just too much work to fix this
