Stick planes are not actual flying models, but small, simplified miniatures of an RC aerobatic aircraft. They consist of a lightweight outline or frame mounted on a wooden stick. The stick plane is held in the hand and is used purely to practice aerobatic and 3D manoeuvres in a calm, controlled way – without flying, without electronics and without any risk.
The idea is simple but extremely effective: every figure can be rehearsed on the ground exactly as it would be flown in the air. Pilots can practise stick movements, timing, transitions and full manoeuvre sequences directly with the transmitter in their hands. This makes complex 3D manoeuvres such as torque rolls, rolling circles, waterfalls or knife-edge combinations much easier to understand and memorise.
Because of that, stick planes have become a proven training tool for beginners, advanced pilots and even competition flyers. They help develop muscle memory, improve coordination and give a clear mental picture of what each manoeuvre should look and feel like – long before taking the real model into the air.
Features:
- Miniature outline of an RC aerobatic model
- Mounted on a wooden stick – ideal for hand-held practice
- No electronics, no servos, no flight – purely for training
- Perfect tool for learning stick movements and manoeuvre sequences
- Highly effective for rehearsing complex 3D and aerobatic figures
- Suitable for beginners, advanced pilots and competition flyers
- Lightweight, inexpensive and usable anywhere
Training Use:
- Practising stick movements for 3D and precision aerobatics
- Learning, memorising and refining manoeuvre routines
- Building confidence before flying the real model
- Ideal supplement to simulator and real-flight training
A stick plane is one of the simplest yet most powerful tools to improve aerobatic skills. It helps visualise figures, build muscle memory and create clean, repeatable manoeuvres – all without risk, cost or stress.
