Here it is!! The Durafly Slow Poke! This is the unboxing portion, and assembly. I go through step by step and we build the slow poke. It has some great looks, and its very well built, It builds SO FAST!
I found it easier to balance upside down, and I did have to adjust one aileron servo horn one tooth over. Other than that, it was an easy build that was fun.
Be sure to SUBSCRIBE as the flying video will be coming SOON!!
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.

It’s a really good plane had a lot of good flights and no crashes.
I just ordered one of these. It seems to be a forgotten gem no one has really mentioned for a few years. Its definitely dated, with things like steel rod gear, and all the hardware you have to attach yourself. I like the vintage look though, better than say the PT-19. It looks like something a Hollywood playboy would have hopped out of back in the 40s.
You don't know how valuable I found that video. T.Y.
I am a rc fan and I put the first like ,😀😀love your videos
Much appreciated!
Your dog is so cute
What a good looking plane!
I realize it is kind of off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online?
@Kyle Yael Flixportal xD
@Bowen Tommy thank you, I went there and it seems to work :) I appreciate it !!
@Kyle Yael glad I could help :D
Just a heads up, I saw another video and they said they had to balance the prop.
I just finished my build but the guy wires seem to be pretty slack. I did it just like you but they are loose, are they supposed to be that way?
I just finished my build & the guy wires seem to be pretty slack. I did it just like you but pretty loose, is it supposed to be that way? Anyway to tighten these up?
The tail vertical and horizontal stabilizers are a bit cheaply made. They don't have airfoil contours as a real aircraft would have. I'm not saying it's necessary for a model aircraft, but it would be nice to have and perhaps not much more work or cost for the manufacturer to implement.
My (red color)Slowpoke kit just arrived but there is no manual in the box, is that normal? Do I have to download the manual?
It will be on hobbykings site to download.
Very cool John, thank you. Hey could you try it off grass ? I would like to get it for my grand kids ( lol that's what I'll tell my wife ) but we fly off grass. Thank you :-)
Thanks! I did, and its coming ;)
G Bro I may have been on the camera during the grass test :)
It's got large wheels and designed to get off rough services. Takes off within a few feet anyways.
How do you get to the steerable tailwheel linkage after the tail is glued on?
With a knife :)
hi you ... where to download the manual 🙏

Si alguien quiere ver el montaje en español, aqui lo tiene ruclips.net/video/8O53cTcbW-c/видео.html hecho por mi
If anybody want see this assembly in spanish, here there is ruclips.net/video/8O53cTcbW-c/видео.html made from me.
Not to nitpick, BUT... those are LANDING WIRES, not flying wires. They support the wing load when not providing lift.
whats the best glue to use...? ?
foam safe
Thanks for the reply, yes, i was talking about the Rx, for someone new,like me, you are scratching your head till you realise you are a piece short.
Oh ok, sorry about that.
are the flying wires necessary?
Good question, Im not sure.
@@JohnVHRC I've been flying mine without the wires and no problems.
It's a shame that you didn't include the electrical setup,and the extra bits required to make this fly...just sayin'
Gregory Moran it's an arf. You just put a Rx and a battery in it. Watch the build video!
