Dream-flight Alula Trek: Still more learning to do

A beautiful spring day in Nebraska today. I got to combine a couple of my favorite things: cycling and flying RC aircraft. I’ve still got a lot left to learn when it comes to slope soaring. I just haven’t been able to find the perfect slope (that’s one excuse!) and I don’t get much practice either. Still, a bad day flying is better than a good day doing anything else, right? I do love the ability to fit the Alula in a saddle bag and take it with me, all while fully assembled.
Lake McConaughy was beautiful today.

great view! I have one alula, one of my best rc toys.

Nice! What was the wind speed like?

It was fairly light for the ballast I had in, but it would gust occasionally. I would say 8mph with gusts to 14 or so. That's a pretty shallow and short little hill and far from ideal, but my friends that live in the house right there wanted to see how a slope soarer works so I obliged ...... within the limit of my abilities. 🙂
