Hi, I'm looking for a Great Planes Slowpoke 40. Tower says it's back ordered, due in April, but Great Planes the manufacturer has it listed as discontinued. Who do I believe? Anyone know a shop that still has one for sale? Thanks.

Paul.

Don't know why the GP site has it listed as discontinued since some are on order. Perhaps it was slated to be dropped and it was decided to make another production run. At any rate, it's due late April/early May.

Hay Buddy,
I have built two kits...one with a standard tail, and one with a "V" tail. One of the best slow flying models I ever built. Flew one with a Fox .50...way over powered...but it was fun. The "V" tail is powered by its second K&B Sportser .45. Great combination of light weight and good power. Most un-recognised good flying model ever built. Like the Falcon 56 and the Ugly Stick...a superb flyer. Sweet, honest slow aerobatics its forta...and I just love the plane. My first one went in hard with a lock out on my old 72 meter gear and after this switched over to 2.4 gig gear. I do look to build another kit...this one with a "T" tail. Mine come out to under 4.5 lbs. with a 1000 sq./inches of lifting surface...it just floats along...and touches down so sweet.
Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui

They became available again two weeks ago or so. Ordered 2 from towerhobbies my first one was also powered by a kb sportster. 45. Loved it very much, super relaxing Flyer. I crashed it after replacing the aileron servos, did not check direction of travel
I'm in the process of building now my second. Good times.
