Sloping fun, show your pictures and videos !!!!!
Richard Boyd:
What a day Mr. Pearson ! Flying on the smallest slope on the mountain yet it has some of the best lift.
Looking at your pictures has greatly effected me ! Am I really that old lol ?
Yesterday I felt like a teenager mmmmmmm !
Chuckle Brothers take to the air today , let the fun begin !
Andrew is gigging tonite so is unable to join the fun, and Kees has gone AWOL in his new camper van.
Its just us hardcore flyers today !

Happy Days:
Good to see there is still some activity in Ireland while most of the lads are off in Germany.
I too was flying my Phase 6 yesterday. (In fact I’ve come to regard the Phase 6 as the bench mark to asses other models by. For me it’s the Standard model)
I’ve moved the CoG back an inch on mine. Now she’s very agile but a little tricky to land, think I’ve gone a bit too far. :!:
Just to amend you’re your last slogan John, “Real men fly slope aerobatics”So here’s a challenge for you. When you go flying today how about photo’ing some close in passes with the plane inverted? :D
Go ON! Give it a try! 8)

Richard Boyd:
Go on John P !
I am bringing my camera for the inverted action, I think cyno maybe needed today lol
JohnPearson:
Your wish is my command Keith, up side down, no problem, O.K. no problem for Richard, he's the good pilot !!! We had another great day on the slopes, this time wind speeds 20mph and super lift. Wild Bill flew so much that his tranny when into the red (low power), he even got the SU25 into the air, but damaged it on a down wind landing. Richard put the little Fox through it's paces, and for you Keith, yes inverted close in passes, this small glider just gets better and better with every flight. I flew the phase 6 and even took the small B52 up for a couple of bombing runs along the slope, and yes I to flew a couple of low passes keith, except my passes ended up at the bottom of the slope!!
More pics from the days activities:
which one will I fly mmmm???
Richard gives his little Fox a pet talk before flight!
away she goes!!!
Inverted pass just for keith!
In case you missed it Keith, we did another inverted low pass just for you!!
I think the other lads have some video and pics coming soon!!

IceWind:

Thanks.
