 The GWS Slow Stick is an electric park flyer made by Grand-Wing Servotech. Its simplicity and easy-to-fly characteristics make it a great airplane for beginners. Out of the package, the Slow Stick uses three channels: throttle, elevator, rudder.  Fitted with camera for surveillance

 To build and test the MAV  Observe safety rules during building and testing  Learn how to assemble objects based on sketches  Learn how to optimize cost when building objects  Learn to create and assemble part on Creo Parametric 1.0  Fly plane (Figure-8 Patterns)

 The goal of the project was to construct a Micro Air Vehicle based on the GWS Slow Stick Platform, with other parts designed in Creo Parametrics 1.0. A cost analysis and material list preparation made sure that the project followed the design specifications. The goal is to fly as many 8 paths around two pylons seperated by 50’ in 5 minutes.. For this, the plane must take off and land from the ground, be able to fly for the entire 5 minutes without needing to recharge the battery, and must stay within the boundary limits
