Default Slow Poke 40?

Peter, the slowpoke is great for low and slow flying. Have one that I rigged up for night flying with glowire because it is so predictable. Have a 46FX on it and use an 11 x 5 prop. No need to prop for speed as it has too much drag. Good loops and stall turns. Roll rate is kinda slow and not axial. With a low pitch prop takeoffs and landing can be in a few feet. I agree with splitess that it likes weight forward.
