Try the Pico Stick. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHCH6&P=FR I'm not sure what the exact relationship between the Pico and Lite stick is (I used to have a Lite Stick too) but they certainly seem very very similar. Personally, I now have Slow Stick that I'm pretty happy with. It's a good deal larger, but is pretty much the same. And less fragile. My Lite Stick met an unfortunate end when I did a loop a few hundred feet up -- the wing folded. But then things got wierd, as the unusual forces broke off the wing half that folded, then the other wing half. And then the horizontal stabilizer broke off. And then rather than making a lawn dart, it started rotating -- fast, about 2-3 rotations per second. And the fuse+motor+radio gear+vertical stabilizer very gently came down to the ground, spinning like mad, with the wing halfs and horizontal stabilizer still gently flopping down in the wind. I really wish I'd had video of it -- though it certainly entertained the other people around the park :) -- Doug McLaren, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have also mastered pomposity, even if I do say so myself." --Kryten RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
