slow sticks are a blast to combat and surprisingly tough. i had a friend who had one that was almost all taped and still flew.......not well but it flew.

The streamers look blue. Is that just the lighting? What are they using for streamers. I have the first slow stick combat of the season on Wednesday night. Thanks for the video.

They are actually a blue/green creppe paper.

This is a nice place to fly. about 300' long 150' wide and 40' ceilings. It gets rather narrow near the top though. It takes a while to get used to flying with walls! They charge each pilot $10.00 for 2 hours. We fly on the first and third Friday's of each month.

I actrually got two cuts during the round that was flown.

Lots of fun[^]

Great!

We will be trying something similar in CO, but with flat foamy planes instead of slow sticks.

The slow sticks are great as they are cheap and easily repaired with packing tape. They also are easier to fly with lower cost motors for beginners. Our site is a high school gym and we pay $5 for 3 hours. I plan on going tonight.
