Pierre's Planes: Poorman's Slow Flyer

Assembly:

Pretty simple and quick balsa construction with a carbon arrow shaft for the fuselage. I built it with a V-tail, rather than a T-tail, coupled with the ailerons. One servo controls one aileron and one ruddervator. Bare frame was spray painted, then covered with window insulation film. The type you heat shrink with a hair dryer. I find it more rigid than food wrap.

Flying:

Flies great, very responsive with the coupled controls, but a bit difficult to do aerobatics with. Loops are very tight. I could probably fly this one indoor. I will experiment with other slow fly props to see if I can optimize it's performance.

Update:

A real blast to fly with a speed 300, 4:1 gearbox, 9x6 prop and 7x600AE, and even more insame with a brushless Mega 16/15/7 on 8 cells.
