Hey guys, just bought a Parkzone Slo-V and was wondering if any of you guys has flown them. How do they fly, how slow are they, are they fun and easy to fly? And my main question, how much room do you need to fly them and are they good floaters? Thanks for the help, Gary.

You just bought it? Hehe, then why dont you go fly it and tell us the answers to your questions? Im waiting for mine ot arrive so id like to know ahead of time

Hey i flew mine earlier in about 5mph winds. It flew beautifully, i love it. I have to wait for the wind to die down now tho. [] i have another post in there about the flights, its in the parkflyers forum.

Fun flying!

So, how are you and your new Slow V getting along?

i flew mine first on saterday and then on sunday just before dark. on saterday there was a verry slight wind, with a normal glow powered plane i would say the wind was perfect but for the SlowV it was a little to much, it was getting bumped and pushed around prittly good almost impossible to land on the small walking track du to the cross wind.. On sunday there was absolutly no wind at all, this time the little plane flew excellent it was so smooth and slow i hardly ever got more than waist high over the soy been fields, its nice to have something that is relaxing to fly. its a nice way to deversifly your flying habits from all those gas and glow powederd planes im used to.

I bought one to teach my kids, 9yrs & 11 yrs old, to fly. We've had it for three weeks and love it. The kids are doing very well. I launch and land it at this point and give them the stick in between. It's very forgiving and slow enough that if they get into trouble I can take the box and straighten it out before disaster strikes. We've kept it in the slow rate mode and it's just plane fun to fly, (pun intended). It would seem that the 'out of the box' RTF planes are getting better and better. The biggest draw back is the inability to tolerate much of any wind. I understand the slow stick is in the same boat as are most of the wide winged stick fliers. But for its intended purpose, training someone to fly at an economical price, they can't be beat. The last few weekends before anyone else is awake, I've grabbed the 'V' and a cup of coffee and flew the thing off of the porch. Nice and quiet, the sun peeking over the hills, very relaxing. The 'V' flies very well right out of the box!!

Now you need to get the drop module to work on precision bomb drops,
put the drop in the bucket
Hit the circle

I think there is a parachute figure

Then you get a second Slow-v and the combat module and start dog fighting.

Funny that you mention that. My son, 9yrs old, was asking even before I ordered the 'V', if we could put bombs on my sky scooter. When I saw that the 'V' had the X-port for just that, it almost sealed the deal. I'll be ordering that feature very soon. What a fun hobby!! Happy flying!!

Since I started RC flying, 18 months ago I have started thinking like a 12 year old again. I had a lot of fun when I was 12.

I am new to the hobby and am wondering if someone out there can give me some help I have just purchased a slow V and flew it for the first time yesterday and had six sucessful flights with no problems except it wanted to stall and I have been told this can be fixed by adjusting the wing the only problem is the instructions do not even give you a starting point hopefully one of you guys can help me with this problem I have a 6 cell and 7 cell battery and am curious if I need to adjust things to the battery pack I am flying with

Use the 7 cell pack, move the wing all the way back or one notch from the back, buy a gws 1180 prop and install it and you will be good as gold. Throw the 6 cell pack in the trash unless you are going to fly it indoors. When you buy the GWS prop make sure you buy extra because the GWS props are weak and they will break if you nose it in slightly.

I had a chance to fly my friend's slo-v today in pretty calm conditions. Nice little plane.

He had the wing all the way back. It flew but I had trouble holding the nose up. So we shifted it forward about 4 notches. flew much better. Had the 7 cell on it.

I liked it!

I did not care for the wing being much farther forward then maybe one notch from the back. If I moved it forward more then that it had a tendency to climb too much at full power. It was to the point that I could not trim it out with the transmitter. Now I can put the trim at neutral and fly around at 1/4 to 1/2 power and it will fly nice and level. When I want full power level flight then I can trim it via the transmitter to keep it from climbing at full power. But then again not every model is exactally the same and some might need different settings.

gotta get one of them!

you need to put a brushless motor on that baby and she'll sing!!!!!
