"Mega" and "Mini"
In the Begining...
Mega Stick was built by a guy who has a passion for the GWS Slow Stick, (Bob Masterson), and a guy who can build almost anything (Bill Mc Neal). "Mega Stick" is a Slow Stick scaled up 200%. It's wingspan is 92" and it's fuselage length is 64". Powered by a Tower Pro Outrunner and Speed control, with a 6s 2500mAh pack, it can cruise comfotably at 1/4 throttle! The wing and control surfaces are made from Depron, the fuselage is a 1" square aluminum frame. Weighing in at almost 7 lbs, you could hardly tell how heavy it is as it floats accross the sky! "Mini Me" is pretty much a stock GWS Slow Stick running a Tower Pro 2409-12 motor and speed control, and was modifies cosmetically to look like "Mega".

Bare Depron wing, still coming along- Look at the size!

Bob and Bill getting ready to fly 'Mega' and 'Mini' in formation. A quick radio check and.....
Up they go!
This formation photo does not do justice to the size difference.
Looking like they were ment to fly together!
