Status: offline 		Here are the two SlowPokes I have built. The Swiss one I built and covered for my neighbor and the British one I built and covered myself. I have another neighbor in the process of building his in a Portuguese Navy Training scheme. We will soon have a training fleet. These two SlowPokes are numbers 3 and 4. The first two were both ARF's. One had the horizontal stabilizer fly off during flight and the other was involved in a midair. Anyway here are mine, LET'S SEE YOURS!!

Status: online 		Here's my Slowpoke 40, kit built. It flies with an OS 52 Surpass 4-stroke engine. It's got over 400 flights on it now.

As you can tell from the pictures, I'm a bit of a Cardinals fan!! The graphics are all cut from Monokote.

Status: offline 		Beautiful planes, guys. I was on the verge of building a SlowPoke for a Magnum .30 4-stroke that is currently not in use. At the last minute, however, I opted to build a Speedy Bee instead and hope to be starting on it in the near future. You never know, though, I might have to add a SP to the build list as well.

Status: offline 		Here's a fun Slow Poke project I did a couple years back. I first built the kit version adn flew the heck out of it and then I decided that the Slow Poke design would work in and enlarged version so I decided to enlarge it by 150%... the wingspan turned out to be 90" and the wing chord was 27"!!! It hasn't flown in the past two summers but what a great flier it was. It weighted 18 lbs and was powered with a MDS 218...I basically flew it at 1/2 throttle......it definately turned heads at the field......

Status: offline 		That is awesome TOMMYSTA!! I also like the colors of the Slow Poke in the background. As you can tell, I like the military colors on the Slow Poke (hence the ones I covered), especially the trainers.
