    Kind of like watching a Barn Swallow flying with a Sandhill Crane! One is built to be fast, darty and impulsive the other is built for long, slow and controlled flight. Thank you for sharing!

    After living in that area for a few years, I miss it, slope soaring is a blast. I did it a long time ago with a buddy of mine. Great Video!

    I really would love to slope soar - but here in north Texas it's very flat. I'd sure love to build a couple of those models though - they look terrific.

    Pylon racing in slow motion. The “old” guy vs the new whipper snappers! Or just two buddies enjoying slope soaring at one of the most beautiful place around. I like how you arranged those beautiful cumulus clouds in the background!

    Looks like Sapphire took some damage in that mid air ?
    The Green wing and the Orange/Red of Sapphire look really good in the air together,
    Fun stuff, man it doesn't get any better than this for me. I Love flying my drone and my fpv plane and all of electric motor models too, but slope soaring at the ocean cliffs is Magical.

    Quello che hanno saputo disegnare nel cielo questi modelli è una forma di poesia, che ci permette di dare libertà alla materia , in lotta con la forza di gravità e ci regala un senso di libertà e leggerezza alla nostra anima . Grazie

      Pigliera' il primo volo il grande Augello, sopra del dosso del suo magno Cecero;empiendo l'universo di stupore, empiendo di sua fama tutte le scritture e gloria eterna al nido dove nacque. Grazie a Leonardo per i suoi sogni e progetti, grazie a voi per il bel video e per i magnifici modelli dal volo purissimo. Saluti da Firenze.

    So many flight days are ruined by wind. Can these go up on a windy day in a field? Also, can they be made sub250?

    • @SlopeRCGliders
      @SlopeRCGliders  Рік тому

      These are a bit big to make sub 250g but there are plenty of gliders under the limit. But the lighter they get, the harder they are to fly in wind.

    Halcyon days of Summer ...
    'halcyon' /ˈhalsɪən/ (noun) - a mythical bird said by ancient writers to breed in a nest floating at sea at the winter solstice, charming the wind and waves into calm.
    Apposite.
