FULL FUSE PICO STICK IN THE US!!!

[IFLYOS]

:-) Hi Guys....it got here this morning about 11:00 EST, and it looks great. Same wing, and tail as the "Stick", cooler type styrofoam fuse. all the other parts are the same as the Pico "Stick" version. Intersting to note is the box is marked for three different motor/gearbox possibilities:

GW/P-Stick-FD (stock motor & gearbox)
GW/P-Stick-FC (CARBON BRUSHED MOTOR OPTION)
GW/P-Stick-F280 (Speed 280 Version)

I got the -FD model, didn't know at the time of order about the carbon option. The manual is good, and has pics of the A-10, the Cub (fuse version), the Tiger Moth, and the Stick(fuse version) on the back.

Based on the back cover, all GWS kits will be offered with all thre motor options in the future. I wil try to scna the cover and get it posted tonight, if I am not building...

GWS also has a warning in the book about batteries:

"CAUTION: Do not use any bigger capacuty battery pack than we recommend (6.0-7.2v, 110-270 mah) for the IPS, otherwise it may cause any damage on the motor such as weakening power, losing performance, shortening life, getting burnt, etc."

Like we didn't know that...But hey, I suppose someone complained enough that they had to do a disclaimer. Still wont stop me from running my 9v 800mah Duralite pack, with a heatsink, of course!

For those who are interested, if you order from Kelletts in Aus., if you choose the high priced airmail (about $14.00 when I ordered) it took 7 days for mine to make it to NC. Not bad, and no damage whatsoever...

May the winds be light, and may your packs be charged!

Cool! So the wings and tail are the same, right? Just a foam fuse? Is it generic or dose it look like a "real" plane? I was going to get a lite-stik. Is there any pros or cons to the two besides the fuse?

Yes, the wings and tail surfaces are the same, and the fuse is foam. It does look like a real plane, and as far as pros/cons, the weight of the full fuse wersion is between 7-9 ounces (according to the box), and the stick version can be built under 7 ounces. You do have to paint the fuse version, as it is all white foam, tail and wings and fuse. Flight time and performancewould be the only difference, and I will let you guys know how it does, hopefully tommorow.
