The GWS Pico Stick-S kit that I had originally bought but changed into the Pico conversion left a few parts that were just screaming to be used in some way. I was in the process of designing a test bed for different wing assemblies and this is what I came up with. I attached the pico wings using the original wing mounts supplied with the kit. HOWEVER, they were too big and ugly. I put a straight edge on them and carved away each end and cut down the main chord about 85%. Then I cut a graceful curve into the outer tips of the wings to lighten them for this new use. Everything is attached with small zip ties.Wheels are 1/8 sheet balso with a brass tube glued in as a bushing.The motor stick (fuse) is carved from cedar siding that was removed from my house during remodling.Some day I may attach the pico motor for some electric FF fun, but for right now It flies smooth and slow and I see no reason to mess with the design anymore. This is recycling.
