Millenium slow stick x User Manual

Millennium RC presents…
The New and Improved
(now even easier to build and cover!)
SSX – X-Trainer Build Kit
Wing span: Approx. 42”
Wing Area: 504 sq. in.
Wing Loading: 6.71 oz/ sq. ft.
Introduction:
The Slow Stick X and X-Trainer airplanes are available either as a complete kit which includes all of the
fuselage components or as “short kit” upgrade to the GWS Slow Stick
™ Electric ARF Park Flyer Airplane Kit
™. The “short” kit replaces the original Styrofoam wing and tail surfaces of the Slow Stick to a more robust
balsa-constructed design, complete with ailerons and a full symmetrical wing, allowing the Slow Stick to
become a fully aerobatic model aircraft. This wing and tail are designed to easily attach to your existing stick
fuselage. This build kit can be built either as a Slow Stick X™ (with the straight wing) or as the X-
Trainer™ (with a dihedral wing). The Slow Stick X is also available as a pre-built and covered ARF.
Adult supervision recommended for children 15 and under. R/C Airplanes should be flown following safety
guidelines provided by the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics).
CAUTION: This is not a toy!
Recommendations:
1. Read through each step before starting assembly.
2. After removing all the pieces from packaging, inspect to make sure there are no broken or missing parts.
3. Check off each completed step to help keep from losing your place.
4. Cover the work table with plastic wrap to protect from glue.
