THIS DESIGN for the Unlimited class of Slope Soaring Racing was created to win. Though some qualified observers have opined that, with some minor modifications, it would also be competitive in FAI F3B events, I don't know. All I want to do is race with it. Slope Racing is one of the most exciting events in RC model competition, even though it is not well known. A typical heat involves four sleek racers speeding through the air with absolutely no engine noise at speeds ranging from 30 mph in light winds to well over 100 mph in strong winds. Add to that the shot of adrenalin pilots get from being able to hear the spectators cheering them on, and you have exhilaration from everyone involved.
