GWS Corsair with the stock motor. So it's a bit underpowered. The Slow Stick 
is just rock solid stable and way overpowered for the wing area (somewhere 
around a pound per acre ;) ) Ever roll a Slow Stick? Don't try with the 
stock tail, it won't work. It kinda flops over, eventually, then falls out 
of the air. With a v-tail, however, it'll whip right around. Anyway, the 
Corsair is way faster and I fly at a pretty small field with trees on all 4 
sides and a 20 foot tower right in the middle so the elementary school 
football coach and bark orders. No kidding. Elementary school. These people 
are freakin' psychos. I haven't been able to fly there since school started 
due to them practicing (remember, elementary school) until well after dark. 
If I can't find a new place soon I'll just have to fly in empty parking lots 
in the middle of the night. I can get away with that with a Slow Stick :) 
The Corsair, however, has no landing gear, so concrete isn't it's friend.

And hell yes I'm nervous! I spent forever filling foam and painting this 
thing, and the only powered planes I've flown successfully are a pair of 
Slow Sticks! I have, however, flown a sailplane at well over 100 mph though, 
so speed isn't the issue.
