Thank you for the comments! I was surprised but it flies exactly the same after I rebuilt it. This is my neighbors Slow Poke that I mid-aired with, but I have a Slow Poke as well. The pictures of both the Slow Poke and Pete N' Poke, that Great Planes puts on the boxes and in magazines, do the models no justice AT ALL!! They are the BEST flying models I have ever had the privilege of flying. THEY ARE EXCELLENT and I highly recommend them. After the midair we built my neighbor a new Slow Poke and now we have two out at our field, and another one coming soon. I've had no problems in the cross-winds with the Slow Poke, but it's a little more challenging with the Pete N' Poke as it has a parasol wing. Both of the Slow Poke's have Saito .52's and have plenty of power. The Slow Poke is an excellent playin' around plane. It can fly fairly fast and changes directions quickly, but is not touchy on the controls. Both models require a lot of rudder-aileron mixing. My Pete N' Poke has a Saito .56 on it and has plenty of power. It performs very good energy managing aerobatics and is also fun to just mess around with. It has plenty of power to add a lot of extra items to it, such as plastic bombs, etc. Bot types of models have EXCELLENT slow speed characteristics. At they both seem to fly on rails tracking perfectly the entire flight, from takeoff to landing. They are both VERY easy to land. I DO NOT think you will be disappointed with either the Slow Poke or Pete N' Poke. I think you should buy either aircraft as they are both excellent choices and are easy to build. Like I said earlier the pictures do not do either model any justice, as they are very poor quality and make the models look bad. I hope this helps Greyfox!
