One of my favorite kits is back for a short time only. Now if Top Flite could re release the FW190 and P-39.

I still have one of these in the box (first production) and will build it someday..how well do these fly just they way they are with poly-hedril (sorry about the spelling) or do you hve better luck making the wing diehedril and with alierons?
Thanks, Terry B.

Terry,

I just finished mine, with an OS 25 FP for power .Plenty of power and the plane flies very nicely for a 3 -channel airplane. It's a gentle flyer. If you want something that will do snap rolls, etc., I'd just build something else instead of trying to add ailerons, reduce the dihedral, etc. I'm sure it can be done but to me this plane is happiest just gracefully flying around the skies. You can still do some aerobatics with it too!

Enjoy, it's a fun build.

I agree with 14 just fly as is slow and lazy. Late in the eveing with no wind, don;t get much better.

Nice job on your plane! Thanks for the info,, I was planning to build it factory drawn but wanted to know if those who had already built one had any regrets!
Have fun....

I had one that was built by someone else... I only tried to fly it two times in a bit of wind..It didn't seem to like it very much, I don't think I ever flew it on a calm air day.

Have you guys had much luck with 8-10 mph winds? or was mine possibly off somehow..I know it was balanced per plans..
Just wondered how yours do in light winds...

Since we've had nothing but wind this year (!), I have flown my Slow Poke in the wind. It handled it just fine, no real issues. Even in a crosswind landing, it just needed a little rudder to correct on approach.

How difficult it was to build the Pete N' Poke?
