RE: GP Slow Poke 25 size
The biggest problem with this kit and all of Great planes kits is they are too heavy to start with. As I've said before the quality is excellent in the kits but too much hardwood and over engineered structures make for a very heavy kit. I threw out half the wood in my kit and used minimal hardwoods as it was only to flit and not do aerobatics as it really was never designed for that anyhow.
The point is that it floats on a 15 and is quite an enjoyable flyer,however you shouldn't have to do this when the purpose of the kit was origionally to be a slow gentle fun flying plane.
I tried to tell the folks from G.P that at the WRAM show but I guess I was talking to the wall as I only got blank stares from them.
The point of my post is that their kits are very good but if you have a specific purpose for the kit you just might have to get a little creative on your own part to achieve what your looking for With all great planes kits weight reduction is the first order of business.
