Default Slow Poke

I built my slow poke's wing with no dihederal and put an old OS 40 FP and ran into the tail heavy prob. After adding weights it flew fine. I then decided to put a MDS 46 to get a little more power and was able to remove some of the lead weight in the nose because of the added engine weight. It still flys great. As stated above it does land better with air speed. I dead sticked mine once and lost speed at about 10 ft and it settled to the ground like a feather. I got lucky. Anyhow enjoy the slow poke
