Hey guys,

Now that the 3DHS 89" AJ Slick are available to the masses, I figure a build and fly thread is in order

.

Here's what's written on the 3DHS website:

Andrew Jesky, 2008 ETOC and XFC champion, and member of the United States F3a pattern world team, has designed a spectacular 89" ARF aircraft for 3DHobbyShop. The 89" Slick 540 is modeled after the full-size Slick 540 aircraft which is the latest, highest-tech full-size aerobatic aircraft. The AJ Slick delivers the goods:

Total stability which will remind you of a 40% aircraft.
Effortless no-rock harriers and easy, stable hovers/torque-rolls.
Powerful, precise snaps even at lower airspeeds.
Lots of lift in knife-edge flight thanks to the big, light fuselage and powerful rudder.

Put the Slick next to some other popular 86-89" 50CC aircraft and it makes them look small. The huge fuselage of the Slick delivers spectacular knife-edge flight as well as slow downlines for constant-speed performance. All of this is possible on a stock DA-50 or DL-50 engine.

Please watch the videos below, flown on a stock DA-50R on MTW TD-75K canister, to get an idea of the vertical performance of this package. Contact 3DHobbyShop to discuss your requirements or for information on engine selection if you fly at high altitudes. We have collected data on the Slick at 5,000 ft. as well as at sea level.
