Slope soaring

After flying powered and various gliders tow launch, winch, bungee, electric and of course a glow motor on a pod I have never slope soared I know the principle as I have a paragliding license so I'm looking for help in having the nerve to throw my much loved model off a hill into the yonder, if there is anyone willing to help me please let me know. Chris

I'm struggling with this one Chris so feel free to explain - Your'e happy to throw your body off a cliff suspended by a nylon bag but apprehensive about launching a glider off the same ????? :silly:

Flying on a slope is possibly the easiest form of R/C model flying - the difference is landing when you have to fly behind the pilot line and virtually land toward yourself.

Chris, I will give you a nudge when we are next on a slope session. You will be hooked in no time.

Hi Chris, there are a few of us planning on heading to Wingreen tomorrow if you want to join us.

And anyone else interested and wants to have go. Slope map can be found here wimbornemac.org/members/slope-map

Another great session on the slopes. Most of the usual pilots turned up but numbers were down a little due to other pilots having a plethora of excuses. :dry: Spills and thrills were inevitable, a broken elevon horn (me) servo failure and lots of other problems (Simon) and loss of control linkage (Jon) Plus the slowest jet fighter you will ever see :ohmy: (Dave R)

I had considered a trip to Wi green but this picture is my excuse and i apologise if this post is drifting off piste. Its more anger than anything.
I am flabbergasted - Many of you will know my wife needs strong immune suppressant medication so we recognised the risks 2 yrs ago and effectively locked ourselves down weeks before the governments announcement in March 20. All our food is click & collect for safety and we have gone to extreme lengths, totally excluding our grandchildren from our home and limiting short term indoor social activity to birthdays and Christmas.
During the last 2 weeks i've started to catch up on some outstanding projects. We've had a room decorated and new floor laid but the dates dont tally with incubation times. Ive been in 5 shops and these visits do tally with incubation times. Every time wearing a mask but the virus has got me. Its not pleasant feeling like SH ___ ! and dread to think if i was not triple vaxed. I can only think i slipped up not sanitising correctly after visiting one of the shops.
When I suspected the symptoms I self isolated and so far Mrs R tests negative but there are a few more days to be safe - heres hoping. I guess self employed tradespeople who use the shops i visited now risk all to maintain an income. I hope any anti vaxers take note.
I guess my message is take care and dont assume you're safe.

Sorry to hear you've got the dreaded bug Kevin. Hope all goes well with you and yours and you'll soon get through it.

Get well Kevin

Sorry to hear that, Kevin. Hope you recover quickly and that Mrs R remains fit and well.
