SLOWPOKE
Before flying make syre you have followed closely the set-up guidelines on pages 6 through 9.
Start by taxying on the ground a little to get use to the handling. Be sure to always taxi with full up
elevator held in, flaps retracted and gentle use of throttle. This will keep the model tracking strady
and true plus has the added bonus of looking far more scale. For take off you’ll want to hold in
some right rudder to counter the rotational torque on the initial rool out. Slowly advance the throttle
whilst holding in just a little up to keep the tail down as you begin to bulid up speed, correcting
direction with rudder as needed. As speed builds, ease off the amount of up elevator you have
held in, then as soon as you rech 3/4 throttle you’ll start to see the Slowpoke lift of the ground.
Landing the Slowpoke is a pleasure and a real treat for those who like to practice ‘scale’ type
approaches as the Slowpoke will need to be ‘flown’ onto the deck through a powered decent. As
soon as the Slowpoke settles onto the ground hold in full up elevator to prevent the model from
nosing over.
