A Park Flyer with "way back when" styling!

It looks just like the popular Great Planes SlowPoke^TM .10-.25 and Sport 40 models that have become favorites at local R/C airfields. But the Li'l Poke is a smaller, lighter version that doesn't require packing up a lot of gear and heading to a flying field. It's designed to let you enjoy aerial thrills in a park, at a playground... even in your own backyard. You won't need a lot of time or effort to get the Li'l Poke flight-ready, and it's surprisingly sturdy and maneuverable. Plus, its "old-timer" profile ensures that you won't be sacrificing style while benefitting from the simplicity of clean, quiet electric power.

Can be assembled, covered and ready to fly in a weekend.
Delivers smooth, stable flight — with the potential for basic aerobatics.
The all-wood frame is exceptionally strong — and the Li'l Poke's total flying weight is less than 15 ounces.

This spacious compartment offers plenty of room for installing on-board radio gear.

The airframe weighs in at only 4 ounces; the wings feature two spars (instead of the one usually found on park flyers) for added strength.

Instructions are included for making the ailerons functional, greatly improving the plane's maneuverability (a 4th radio channel and 3rd servo are required for aileron operation).

Note: Some models require a 3-channel radio system, but a 4-channel will also work and it's beneficial because the modeler can use it in a wider range of applications with larger aircraft in the future. It depends on whether the modeler plans on using their radio for different uses other than just this airplane. Also please note that some radios come with receiver, crystal and/or servos.
