  • 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

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    • @sanexup1038
      @sanexup1038 Год назад +1

      Good luck with your recovery. A year is not that long of a time period and the brain is a mysterious organ. I think your desire and determination are crucial in taking the steps towards a level of recovery. I'm guessing that some days are better than others but don't let that derail your focus or attitude. I am also wondering if you have a RC flight simulator or access to one. It might be worth a consideration and a benefit to your recovery. Having myself cared for someone who suffered a stroke my heart goes out to you. Don't lose sight of your gratitude and hope. My best and good luck to you!

      @@sanexup1038 Thank you ever so much ! It means a lot to me. This right-side cerebral stroke, struck just suddenly without any warning. As I mentioned, I almost died. It's truly a wonder I am still here because I was alone & paralyzed to call for help. It's truly a miracle I was able to get out of the house and yell for help with my last bit of energy.
      I spent close to one month in the hospital. What I saw surprised me. There were cerebral stroke patients from age 20 on up. I was lucky to have a right-side cerebral stroke vs a left-side since only my mobility on my left-side was affected and not my speech nor cognitive ability when it's a left-side cerebral stroke.

      @@smesui1799 Life is impossible to predict. Having experienced an intense few years myself, I can say that gratitude, compassion, and a positive mindset are not just words to somehow lessen hardship, but gifts, obtained through hardship. It is through losing or almost truly losing everything that one realizes how much one has to give. Don't lose your passion for flying objects with wings! And have patience with yourself, things take time.

    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 hobby.....even 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
