Gliders > Slope Soaring
Sloping fun, show your pictures and videos !!!!!
Happy Days:
A-Haar, yes very good guys. Take a well earned pat on the back the lot of you. :clap:
When I said a close in low pass I actually meant parallel to the slope not perpendicular to it, but very well done none the less. Now let’s see it done with a phase 6! :D ( The fox has a symmetric wing I believe). The key, I’ve found, ( after many repair jobs) is SPEED. I put the plane into a dive from a great height while flying parrallel to the slope, and then just push the stick forward and hold it there, at the end of the pass do a quarter roll and take the plane out into the lift again. Like I said, the key is converting height into speed
Doesn’t it feel good when you go home with all models airworthy (apart poor Bill’s SU25) and the tranny flashing red at you. 8)
Have to admit I’m getting a little worried about Richard. :?: First I find him flashing his naked legs on the forum. Now I see him lying on his back ostensibly “talking” to his windrider Fox! I think he’s a good pilot but just a bit ‘Kinky’
Glad you all enjoyed your two days. :D

Great day on the hill. The Frogfoot is in a couple of pieces, but they'll glue back together with no problems. No worries there.
Maidened a home brew 60" V tail model too. It flew very well, crisp turns, easily controlled and FAAAST :twisted: Richard loved the whistle from it as it went past. :shock:
Good flying in good company. Can't think of a better way to spend Saturday afternoon :clap: :clap:

What's that small fox glider? Where can I see more details about it?
Thanks.

Hi Icewind, the Fox is by windrider, made from bouncy EPP and it flys fantastic.
I used tape to strenghten the winds and only glue used was to attach the elevator ! Total weight with battery is 437g !
I used a standard servo for the elevator , Hitec 55 for rudder and EMAX ES08MA metal geared servos for the ailerons. The emax es08 are the best small budget servo I have ever used. and check the price http://www.expressfly.org.uk/shop/product_info.php?products_id=281
This is my baby Fox fly on a windy day, the more you cuddle her the better she flys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just for Keith
