Slowboat is adept at slow flight, has some 3D capabilities, and can be flown in quite restricted areas. A favorite trick is to fly slow figure 8's while dragging a wingtip in the water. It will take off in about 1 plane length from either water or grass. Though the thrust ratio is considerably more than 1:1, the high thrust line does not produce any noticeable throttle-induced pitch changes. It’s built of 6mm Depron.
