The "Night Stick" - GWS Slow Stick Brushless Night Flyer
|
This is my GWS Slow Stick, dubbed the "Night Stick". It is equipped with an e-flight brushless motor and super bright LED lighting for night flying. Other modifications include: replaced included pushrods and fiberglass rods with carbon, replaced the front wheels with foam wheels, built custom motor mount stick with 3 degrees right and down thrust and custom battery mount under CG for using different battery packs. All the parts for the lighting was purchased at Fry’s for under $20.00 and rigged up in one night. If there is interest I will post details (parts and construction) on the LED lighting setup.
