RADIO CONTROL SLOPE SOARING - 2005/05

THE “BUILDING WITH Speed and Efficiency” article in the
November 2004 MA hit a responsive chord, and more readers
responded to that topic than to any other article or column
published in 2004. It looks as though we have some builders out
there. The tips presented in that article were:
1) Thoroughly read the kit instructions.
2) Review the tools you’ll need.
3) Gather building supplies and materials.
4) Is this the time for shop improvements?
5) Make sure you have all small parts you’ll need in stock.
6) Follow logical procedures.
7) Prepare your finishing supplies and materials.
8) Keep safety in mind.
9) Get help if needed.
10) Make building an enjoyable time.

Radio Control Slope Soaring - 2007/10

SOME OF THE slopes we fly from have plenty of
height, and steady winds from a favorable direction,
but lack a clear area large enough to make safe
landings that don’t beat up our aircraft or make us
climb trees to recover our models. This is particularly
true in mountainous terrain with forest cover, such as
the Adirondack Mountains in the East and the Rocky
Mountains in the West.
