Radio Control Slope Soaring - 2010/12
The InTermounTaIn Silent Flyers (IMSF) has delivered
another first-rate destination Soaring event. Each iteration seems to
get better, and Soar Utah 2010, the eighth in the series, was without
a doubt the best yet. The weather was superb, the people were great,
and the home-club support of travelers was unparalleled.

Slope Safari - New York to Kansas and back
In May 2012, I took a two-week
driving trip—a Slope Safari—from
my home in upstate New York to
the Midwest Slope Challenge, located
96 miles from the geographic center of
the United States.

Using nets to catch Slope Soarers in small or hazardous landing areas
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.

THIS MONTH I have 30 hints, tips, and tricks to help us prepare
better and fly smarter in foamie combat matches or Slope races. I am
indebted to many competitors for sharing their knowledge and
experience. These ideas were related to me by Slope fliers at flying
sites ranging from Laguna Niguel, California
(www.rcsoaring.com/lnssg.htm), to Wilson Lake, Kansas
(http://home.alltel.net/mwsc/), to Claremont, New Hampshire
(www.flymorningside.com).
