Out of stock | | | | | | 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. | | | | | |

 Great for beginners and lots of fun for the experienced Dec 01, 2004
By Carlo N. Virtucio
"downhillsupercruiser.com"
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. With less parts, there are obviously less things to break. It's not to say that this plane is indestructable. But, yes, it holds together pretty well. This is the plane that I finally learned how to fly AND land a 3 channel plane. So, yeah, I've crashed it several times. If you're learning, it would be a good idea to get some extra propeller shafts. They bend back easily, but there's always that point of no return. The carbon fiber fuselage usually cracks length-wise and normally does not snap in two. So, even with some damage it can still hold together well enough to fly (before you go home to repair it with good ole epoxy). The only foam parts are the wings and tail and even they are pretty durable. The versitily is excellent. Click the control mode to the B position and you can easily get this plane to loop, "turn on a dime", and even fly upside down on a fresh battery charge. Plus with the X-Port options you can even get an aerial combat module to dog fight with your friends that you brainwashed into the RC plane hobby! Heheheh...well actually they convinced themselves. All I did was show them the plane and show them what it can do and they all wanted one. For those who get home late and its already dark, there's even a night flight module to light up your plane in the dark. It is a fairly large plane. Transport it with the wing detached and it fits nicely in the back seat. I would recommend learners to find a large field (no less than two soccer or two track field size area) and you'll be having more fun learning how to control the plane instead of panicking to avoid trees. There are six frequency channels to chose from.

Great Beginner's Plane Nov 15, 2004
By Russell Gummelt
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.

Good beginner flyer with proprietary electronics =( and NiMh batteries Jun 01, 2011
By M. Reed
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.
 Lack of Parts Jul 27, 2011
By wildflyer
I bought this plane in June of this year. It flew one time, lacking elevation. I discovered the prop shaft was bent. After contacting Parkzone I was told there would not be any available until 9-20-11. If I had known gettig parts would be so difficult I would not have purchased this item. Kenneth R Mushall
