RE: witch is a better second plane?
I would probably say the Tiger is the better second plane. Other choices would be the Sig 4-Star, GP Rapture-40, World Models Sky Raider Mach-2. There are probably more but these just come to mind right now.
I haven't flown the Slowpoke personally. It does have a huge, flat bottom wing though. I'm sure some other people have opinions on it.
