as you can see in the scratch building section i am building a plane out of popsicle sticks. what makes a plane slow? i want to make mine a slow flyer

Hello Hobbyco,
The main thing that determines the minimum speed of an airplane is the wing loading. The size of the wing vs the total weight will determine the minimum speed. To a smaller extent, the airfoil shape of the wing has an influence on the minimum speed. A slow flyer model will generally have a wing with an undercambered airfoil, or one that is concave on the bottom.
Cheers, Dave
