To me, the Slick is the ultimate 3D/precision airplane, combining all of the best elements of the best performing airplanes out there into one package. Huge side area, long fuselage, tall rudder, extremely stable wing platform, wide elevators, it is really the ultimate 3D airplane at least to me. Every Slick I've flown straights straight as a bullet (because an arrow isn't straight enough), is extremely stable in knife edge with no coupling, and has zero wing rock in high alpha. The easiest and most capable flying 3D airplane out there.

uh...bullets dont fly strait. Not on this planet anyway.

Well looks like all of our summer weather finally wore out, it's all rainy today.

Straighter than an arrow does

I guess I cant argue that

Okay I want to add my 2 cents...It all comes down to distance. Eventually everything will bend curve or do something other than go straight even light. However I think if the distance is small enough then you can achieve a perfect straight line. Does that make sense, does to me.

If I were standing next to you right now I would punch you right in the arm then I would walk around to your other side and punch you in the other arm.
Why the hell would you do that man...I had a feeling there was something not right about you. :facepalm:

I can always build another one, that one there was a 2006 Ultra Classic, it was a total loss I picked up at an auction. It started out life grey. It only had 4000 miles on it when I bought it. I rebuilt it, had a buddy of mine paint it candy blue, another buddy did all the pin-striping. I also built the engine, it was a 88 cubic inch, I built a 103 cubic inch engine and boy would it haul, fun bike.... My wife and I used to put about 8000-10000 miles a year on it, then we bought the RV park, I put 200 miles on it in two years, hated to see it sitting all the time so I sold it. But thanks Bush lol Im glad Im not standing next to you, my arms feel better already lol
