Product Description
The ParkZone® Slo-V® is a go-anywhere Charge-and-Fly™ park flyer that is equally at home in the gym as it is in the park. Its gear-reduced 370 motor, large diameter prop, large wing area and light wing loading keep airspeeds low so the Slo-V can maneuver in smaller flying areas. Beyond providing a great slow flying experience, the Slo-V also offers the option of expanding that experience to include aerial combat with its unique X-Port™ Plug-N-Play® accessory port.
Everything needed to get the Slo-V flying comes in one box. That includes the transmitter, transmitter batteries, rechargable Ni-MH battery pack and DC peak charger. All that’s left for the modeler is about 15 minutes of assembly, which can easily be done while the battery pack is charging.
Whether you’re an experienced RC pilot looking for a fun, easy park-flying fix or a HobbyZone fan ready to move up in performance, ParkZone can make it happen using the advanced Mode Change Flight Control™ system. Choose between two flight modes with just the flip of a switch:
- Mode A: Limits the amount of control surface travel for transitioning pilots, so maneuvers are smooth and manageable.
- Mode B: Grants an experienced pilot maximum control surface movement for high-energy aerobatics and air-to-air combat.
What sold me on this plane? 30 - 40 minute battery charging with the included DC peak charger. There are a few more reasons, of course, but there are many ready to fly plane packages out there that come with a regular charger that takes 2.5 hours to charge a battery. And you really only get an average of 10-15 minutes of flight time (for just about any electric plane in general - slo-v included). Get a second battery and in less than 1.5 hours (to charge both) you can fly for a good 30 minutes. Go get something to eat while you charge again and before you know it, you can go flying again! Basically...more fun, less wait. Other features I really like: simple design, durability, and versatility. There aren't that many parts to this plane and they are all replaceable. Not to mention EASY access. Unlike other planes with fancy fuselages, you can easily replace servos, receiver, motor, etc. without trying to squeeze your hand inside the plane or take it apart.

If you're looking for an airplane that's easy to control, flys slow, and is very durable, the Slo-V is the plane to get. I gave it a 2 star for education because it isn't exactly a learning toy. It's more of an RC training airplane. I suggest you buy try this airplane if you want to learn to fly the larger RC airplanes. I'm only 11, and this airplane is almost perfect for me.

The title says it. It flys well, and is durable. However the proprietary electronics and non-LiPo batteries kill its value. Its still a good buy, especially for beginner pilots or people who like to casually fly their planes.
When you gain experience, the possibility is there to replace the plane's electronics/engine and put thinner wings on it.
