Default RE: SlowPoke .40 Arf

I am flying a Slowpoke Sport with a Tower Hobbies .46 in it. It is a second plane after my Nexstar which is gonna get stripped to outfit a Sky Raider low wing. I am really having a blast with the SP. It will loop in its own length, does great rolls, snaps well, and will do most aerobatics short of 3-d. I managed 3 outside loops ina row, really tight. Be careful of the low rates in the manual. The elevator settings for low rate were really low. I had to increase them. The plane flys well in any weather, and will fly faster than I expected when you open it up. My only complaint is landing. I am having som,e difficulty getting the thing to come down. Not the fault of the plane entirely as I am still a new pilot. You will have a blast with it. With my .46 installed, I added a 2 ounce spinner weight, and 1 ounce under the engine. You will see what I mean about under the engine when you put it together. The plane was 109 bucks, and has provided me with a grand of entertainment. It is an excellant choice.
