Slope flying in Florida
Also included in this column:
• Rudder-only RC slope flying
• A challenge to slope pilots
• Wind-speed meter app
• How High SP
These birds are masters of the air. The pelican photos were made by Fred or Pat Sanford:
Minnesotans on vacation in Florida.

small dunes by the coast highway in
Ormond Beach FL. “We had to drive 45
mph to overtake them!” remarked the
photographers.
Flagler Beach is just north of where the
pelican pictures were taken. A Dream-
Flight Weasel or DAW 1-26 could fly
there.

FLORIDA IS OUR fourth most populous
state, has the favorable weather, and is
packed full of model builders and fliers. All
that’s missing for our particular brand of RC
fun and fury is hills. Or that’s what I thought
during my first 20 years of Slope Soaring.
There was one spot. According to an
article on TampaBay.com, “It’s known
simply as Mount Trashmore, the only high
ground in flat south Florida. It’s where
Miami’s garbage ends up—millions of tons
of it.”
In the 1990s, I had heard about and seen
photos of people flying from the trash pile,
but the conventional wisdom was that there
was nowhere else in Florida to fly slope.
Well, “The Times They Are AChangin,’”
as Bob Dylan told us in the song
by that title.
Contributors to the SlopeFlyer.com Web
site have listed an increasing number of
slope flying site descriptions in recent years.
In July, the roster documented sites in
Clearmont, Lake Okeechobee, Merritt
Island, and Pompano Beach in Florida.
The Pompano Hill Flyers Web site reads:
“For the past 15 years, we have worked
with Waste Management Corporation in
maintaining a safe and successful flying site.
We wish to thank Waste Management for
their support and continue to pledge our
support to the safe operations of their landfill
site.”

have been working on our behalf to secure
slope flying sites at closed landfills. This is a
trend to watch, not only in Florida, but in any
state with a landfill. They tend to be near
populated areas, meaning you generally don’t
have to drive far to get to them.
According to an article on Slope
Flyer.com, the Vista View Slope Soaring
Society is working on securing, for RC
flying, a 150-foot hill facing into the
prevailing east wind in a park in Broward
County, Florida.
Flying from small hills has its charms. I
last wrote about it in the February 2008 slope
column, which had the subhead “Small hills
and base flying—more places for slope than
you might think.”
Following is a question from David
Trapp.
“I am an experienced giant scale
modeler, but no sloping. I winter in Miami
Beach and it has bothered me for years why
no one has attempted slope soaring around
the causeways.
“Usually the wind is constant 10 plus
mph and you can tie a kite down and leave it
up for days. I also watch sea birds going up
and down the causeways at 100ft. plus
altitude and never flap their wings.
“My question, can you suggest a slope
sailplane that might succeed in these
conditions?”
Dave, following is a list of sailplanes I
recommend for small hills and steady
winds.
1. Any Hand-Launched Glider, and
many companies make them. I’m very
happy with the flight performance of the
PoleCat Aeroplane Works XP-5.
2. The DAW (Dave’s Aircraft Works)
Schweizer 1-26 is extremely versatile,
including in light air. It’s available from
SkyKing RC Products. I like the 2-meterspan
version.
3. For a riotously fun aerobat, try the
Weasel from Dream-Flight. There is a new
molder version, which builds quickly and
packs small.
The rudder-only slope-flight challenge I
presented in the June 2009 column struck a
responsive chord among readers. I heard
from five pilots who had flown rudder-only
sailplanes on the slope “way back when,”
including Walt Smeton, Peter Carr, Bill Deli,
and Frank Colver. Frank Gallagher sent a
great idea: try rudder-only slope flying on a
simulator.
Walt wrote:
“My friend Tom was slope flying a Zaic
single channel equipment in the late 1950s. I
copied him using a 6-foot Graupner Amigo
A1 class free flight glider (silk and Butyrate
dope finish) converted to rudder only RC.
“Rudder-only was all that was available
back then. [See the photo included in this
column.] If you look closely you can see the
pin in the rear of the rudder that transferred
the power from the 1/8-inch single strand of
rubber that powered the escapement.
“Also included is a picture of the
transistor receiver powered with two zinccarbon
pen cells and transmitter made by
Wen Mac Co. on 27.255 MHz (before band
assignments). It still works today on my
indoor rubber powered RC Helios airplane.
“I logged several hundred flights of about
20-minutes each on the cliffs near the Pacific
in Westchester near LAX, and in Malibu
California, where I lived for 30 years. Both
sites had soft landing areas so no damage to
gliders on landing. I flew it in late afternoon
1-6 mph winds.
“When proportional radio came along I
installed a 72 MHz AM Orbit system with
servos and added elevator control and made
several hundred more flights. I could put the
old equipment in it and try single channel
again. Keep up the great column on slope
soaring.”
Pete Carr wrote:
“I returned from service in 1963 and
wanted to resume model building. I decided
to build a kit of a glider that resembled some
of the full size sailplanes with T-tails. I chose
the Midwest Little T sailplane which was
about two meters in span. I built the kit and
covered it with silk and painted it with
butyrate dope as was common practice in the
day.
“I was able to buy a used single channel
rig consisting of a World Engines
Controlaire Mule transmitter on 27.195 MHz
and companion transistor receiver with relay.
The servo was a motorized unit that gave
right turn on one pulse, left turn with two
pulses and either high, medium or low
throttle if used with an engine.
“I found a small hillside in a local cow
pasture and practiced gliding down the slope
as I changed nose weight and such. I also had
to learn about steering reversal when the ship
came back toward me. That was an
unexpected experience.”
These fliers were not afraid to throw a
one-channel-control airplane off of a hill,
because that’s all they had at the time. Today
we think we can’t maneuver without ailerons
and can’t get back home without an elevator,
but these guys proved that it’s possible.
I’d like to be able to report on someone
who is willing to launch and fly a slope
glider with a single working control
surface—the rudder—and who succeeds at
landing it back on the top of the hill, under
control. There are no restrictions on glider
selection. It can be old or new, but I’ll bet it
will have a polyhedral wing.
It does not have to have an antique radio.
A modern radio set is fine, as long as only
one servo is plugged into the receiver: the
rudder servo.
When the weather is right to launch for
your rudder-only flight attempt, get a friend
to take photos and serve as your witness.
Perhaps get a static photo showing the
sailplane, an in-flight shot, and maybe one
that shows the view from the top of the hill
from which you flew.
Then write a short description of how
you prepared the model and how you
performed the testing, the flying, and the
landing.
The prize? The Andy Warhol 15 minutes
of fame. For the first pilot to pull this off in
the new century, I’ll publish the report of
your flight and photos of your sailplane in
the MA Slope Soaring column.
New Products: Check out the Wind Meter
for iPhone. It’s an application (app) that
derives wind speed from volume on the
microphone.
Published by goingApps, the Wind
Meter is available from the Apple iTunes
“App Store”; search for “Wind Meter.” This
app is designed for G3 and G3S iPhones and
displays wind speeds of 3-28 mph.
The How High SP and the Battery Board
are now available. The How High is an
altitude recording device. The How High SP
is an enhancement that improves this tiny
portable altimeter. It combines the altimeter
with a battery and switch, self-contained,
with no connectors or wires. With nothing to
plug in or attach, it’s easy to move from
model to model. MA
