Flight Demo - Durafly SlowPoke 1200mm PNF on 4S!

Stuart is here with a flight demo showcasing the Durafly SlowPoke 1200mm (47.2) PNF (Red Scheme). Enjoy and let us know your thoughts in the comments!

The Durafly SlowPoke is an EPO foam model of the classic design. Adding to the easy-flying design of the SlowPoke, Durafly has added some larger wheels to make it even easier to take off and land on a wide variety of fields. This a great airplane for your first low-wing tail dragger or for the discerning experienced pilot wanting a great-looking, easy-flying plane.

The large wing makes for easy flying right down to walking pace landings. The power plant (3648 700KV motor and 40A ESC) provides all the power you need. All the 9g servos are all pre-fitted for ease of building. The ball links on the control surfaces make for smooth and precise control for the best realistic flights.

Like all Durafly planes, the building takes next to no time. The extra smooth EPO foam provides an outstanding look and when you include the rigging wires, dummy plastic motor, cockpit detail, and pilot they provide that extra realistic look. The SlowPoke is a plane you can’t walk past without turning your head.

So be the first in your field to enjoy flying the Durafly SlowPoke.

Features:
• Easy to build from smooth, lightweight, and durable EPO.
• Plug and Fly format, simply add your own radio system and battery (not included)
• High level of prefabrication, requires only minutes to assemble
• Extremely gentle flight characteristics, especially in slow flight
• High-quality paint finish
• Dummy model engine for added realism
• Strong, fully molded plastic cowl
• Easy and direct access to battery and radio compartment
• Full 4-channel control: Elevator, rudder, throttle, and aileron
• Preassembled undercarriage with large wheels
• Ball Links on all controls

Hi Stuart, had my slowpoke for nearly three years and recently tried it on 4s for the first time. It flew well, but the ESC got very very hot. I switched the prop from a 12x6 to an 11x6 and now the ESC just gets warm. Am using stock 40a ESC that cam with blue slowpoke in 2020. Andy in UK.

Glad to see this get some love. I just bought one a few weeks ago. I fly mine on a 4S 2200. This is a great little sport plane.

[SEYOTwo]

Hey, your buy it now link is the link to the video! Otherwise another great review!

[robertfpv]

Bought my slowpoke at this years Neat Fair from hobbyking and it is now my new favorite plane currently it just barely beats out it my Conscendo evo

[ModelAVRChannel]

Wow Stuart I've never seen one flown that well! That looks like an awesome sport plane, and I'll bet it will do some tumbles as well!

Two brave nuts out in the cold.
Nice video gentlemen.
4s really stabbed that poke 🤣!!
AirHammer out!!

I REALLY like this aircraft. In the past ( in my better days before my health issues ), I would see it at HK but always passed it up because it looked duffy. What a mistake. I will see if a flight simulator has one or similar for me to try.

[coloradofotomatt]

I'd really love to fly the SlowPoke I bought from HobbyKing last week! What a great deal. Only $129.99. How could I pass it up. So I bought it! And I was so excited when FedEx arrived with my package in only a few days. That's where it ended. I cut the box tape and opened it only to see a blue UglyStik staring back at me. NOT MY SLOWPOKE!

I've opened a ticket with HobbyKing and the only contact says "Waiting for Items". I don't know what that means. I'm even more tweaked to see the price dropped another $10. I do not understand what the "Waiting for Items" note on my claim means. The nearest FedEx facility is more than 60 miles from me. AND the RMA is not return shipping...so it looks like HK wants ME to pay for sending it back????

Hey HobbyKing will you please fix this for me? (And then I can remove this annoying post!). Waiting in Colorado...

Did you have to change the prop to run 4S? Thank you. --Mike

[tonyschubert]

i tried mine with 4S and it woke it right up. i also painted the cylinders to look more real

[workonesabs]

Mine came today, first order from Hobbyking of the relaunched UK warehouse for a long long time. Good price as well, but can tell it's made by Xfly as you can tell the quality and build is same.

The fast pass is hilarious on 4s!

I have a question about your radio. I also have a TX10i, and the gimbals are so soft on it that I've relegated it to a spare radio. I tried to get stiffer springs for it, but the recommended Futaba springs were double the size of the ones in the TX10i. Are there actually stiffer springs that will fit it?

[JamesAnderson-feyu]

Hi Stuart, Couldn't find the video that you mentioned withy the little mods out of the box? I'd appreciate if you can help? Thanks

[ed]

Great vid, Thanks. I have one of these still in the box and appreciate any info that comes along. In this vid you mention another about modifications that is linked below. I can’t find it. Can I expect it to follow?

[smesui]

I am determined to recover use of my left arm & hand, for the sake of flying again after suffering a cerebral stroke, which nearly killed me, now about 1-year ago. My arm is coming along but the hand recovery is slower, however that's what my physician told me to expect anyway. Walking is not as much of a problem.

[Krash_fpv]

And that comment isn't to blast you hobby king I love your company it's just basically impossible to contact you to inquire I've sent emails trying to see if there was any news or even a timeline and you just get redirected to a blog...I would love to spend my money with your company but there's nothing to buy lol

[roadstar]

Looks pretty fast..why is it called the slow poke?

[bramrc]

I thought these were discounted or something but their back

[salvatorealessandrino]

Hallo why they don´t put some retracts on the plane greetings

[Krash_fpv]

Seriously hobby king....what is going on I have had a savage bobber since they came out and you still have none of the parts in stock worldwide....thank god for horizon hobby literally everything I have tried to buy from you is on backorder are you ever going to get stock in or are you just gonna ignore parts and electronics and batteries and just keep pumping out random planes that you can only fly if you order electronics from other companies...basically if you buy an arf from hobby king expect to wait for 6 months and hope some parts come in or you have to order parts that are close to their recommendations from horizon the major importers are getting stock in like extreme flight and pilot rc and even precision aerobatics but hobby king basically has a website to show you the parts they never stock
