Well, all of my parts came in last week.  I tested all the electronics and everything worked together.  Not to bad for my first time buying electronics with no experience.  The build went as smooth as it could have.  I would like to thank mojohobbies for putting up a great build video on youtube.  I think without that video it would have taken me much longer than the 4 hours I spent building the GWS Slow Stick 400C.

All and all the plane is much bigger than I imagined.  I was able to get one maiden flight in on Friday before I broke the only propeller I had.  The main wing has a huge amount of lift and I literaly took off on only 2 feet of runway.  The plane flies great, control was good and it is very forgiving, except when you clip a tree, then it just falls out the sky and you break things, like a propeller. 

After a suprisingly good first flight experience, I picked up a couple extra propellers and some tape to reinforce the wings.  I am going to make a few modifications tonight and am looking for foward to many hours of fun flying this plane.  If you are a first time flyer with no instructor or field to go to I would definately recommend getting a Slow Stick.  It is a great beginner plane that you can grow with, as there are many modifications you do as your flying skills increase.
