Radio Control: Slope Soaring
WELCOME TO the exciting world of Slope Soaring. Now at long last there will be a column that deals exclusively with the planes, sites, contests, and ideas of RC Slope Soaring. With your help (in the form of letters, photos, stories, ideas, innovations, etc.) we can make this column a great success and bring Slope Soaring to the forefront of the RC Soaring fraternity. This being the first Slope Soaring column, I have yet to receive any reader input and will simply discuss a few of my favorite areas and aspects of Slope Soaring.

STANDING ON THE CREST of the slope, I try to absorb the conditions and the surroundings. As I look down the hill onto the clean white sand of the beach below. I begin to feel the pure essence of the flight to come. The waves gently glide into shore one after another, disturbed only by an occasional sea bird. The rhythm of the crashing waves mingles with the constant breeze blowing through the trees and shrubs to create a sound which is at once enticingly relaxing and, in a way, very exciting.
