Durafly SLOWPOKE 1200mm Maiden flight! From HobbyKing

Durafly Slow Poke! Be sure to watch the Unboxing and Building video too! Super fast and easy to assemble.

Maiden flight thoughts, best takeoffs for me were just bring it above idle to roll straight, then punch it. Landings, slow it down as much as possible in a nice big flare. Its a shorter coupled plane so keep that in mind.

It did knife edges no problem! There is a little coupling, but that's normal in almost all planes. I do need to add a scarf to the pilot though, that would look great! The Slow Poke is a very predicable plane to fly, flies nice slow, and flies nice fast too!

In the next video, you'll see some grass operations, it does great on the grass, and is more fun for me to fly off grass. Its big wheels work great on that terrain!

Thanks GBLynden for the video help.

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. A great plane 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, 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 at your field to enjoy flying the Durafly SlowPoke.

Looks like it would make a good low-wing trainer. Nice setup and flying!

Great flying, how much throw do you have on the ailerons? It rolls faster than mine.

[gbro]

Great job. That's a good size to take camping. Thank you :-)

Hello John, great flight. Which is faster, this one or the parkzone f4f wildcat, Iam a beginner yes but I want a plane that can go fast when I want for some aerobatics.

The touch and go was lovely. The climb out was totally scale. Was this flown on a 2200mah?

Your showcase flying of these birds is like no one it. I bought the freewing f16 pro right after your demo and guess what I'm ordering now. TY

[rayhunter]

You wouldn`t fly like that on a Maiden ?
