I take that back. There was no image the first time your post came up for some reason so I thought you forgot to put the image in. How high was the plane when you took the pic?

Status: offline 		Actually YES! I had a blast! did some loops, but my rolls where pathetic. Not sure the Slow Poke is the best for barrel rolls.

My father has a Slow Poke that is still virgin. I would imagine you would need to add elevator input to keep a roll fairly level in something like the Slow Poke.
My Uproar will make a grip of rolls without elevator input before losing alititude but my Super Stunts 60 (R.I.P.) needed me to use the elevator. I have been able to do some real neat "stately" rolls this way. The Uproar rolls so fast that I doubt I could add any elevator input where it needed to be inputed.

Status: offline 		What I like about the slow poke is that yuo can flip it inverted, head into the wind, then reduce throttle until it hangs in the air. I have hovered to the ground like that in my friends slow poke, It is fun!
