Was very obvious to me because Steve told about it in the podcast.
If I remember correct they where already in the warehouse(s) so might be released "soon".

If it's balsa I'll buy one.

For now I had the idea it would be just a foamie, but if I remember correct now Durafly had a few balsa models in the past.

For balsa I would normaly think of E-flite / hangar9 etc. but have to say the AIroso F3A and that funny E-Fair glider I got from HK where great value for money!

So yeah if it's balsa and ok quality that would be great, but I don't mind good quality foam at a very fair price either.

Here is a couple of teaser photos from facebook!!

Define 'soon'.

I have money and am horrible at saving it and was going to buy a Slowpoke kit.

Well it’s not very soon, so not in the coming weeks I’m assuming

I had the larger balsa Slowpoke (converted to electric with lots of power) and hated how it flew... nostalgia hit me hard but somebody should have smacked me in the head before I bought it

A light-weight EPO version might be okay.
