    She's a keeper John! Fast, lite on the wing, and beautiful lines! On Friday evening I experienced "The Widow Maker" heart attack, I was unbelievably fortunate to get to hospital soon enough that they got me straightened out really fast and it appears I have almost no damage to my heart! Needless to say I have been doing some deep thought about things. One thing I know for certain I am going to slope from a slope something like the ones you slope from at least once in my life, and very soon! I have sloped from a few small slopes but I want the Big Kahuna experience! Lolol Thanks John for all the awesome videos you and your wife so graciously make and share with us all!

    Elan = “good vibes/times” (in Slovak). This plane definitely does just that! Watching you fly feels just as if I was flying it. Just wish I had your amazing weather all year! Thanks for sharing!

    I love how you invariably execute a loop on your model’s first flights. Looks like it lost a lot of energy in the loop. Beautiful model!

    • @Maximum_777
      @Maximum_777 2 года назад +1

      In good lift like that, you have so much freedom to just do whatever, regardless of the aircraft, you just can't help but do loops, it's so fun.

    Hi John, neat bit of slope soaring; as usual! Always enjoy your relaxing, yet exhilarating videos. Liked the way you almost caught the glider on its early swoop-past! The biggest RC glider I've flown was a Miri 100. That was over relatively flat land, launched via a bungee. Have never tried slope soaring. Looking forward to your future flight vids. All the best for 2022. Happy Landings!!

    That's a great flying glider, nice size too. For me 100" WS is about the tops I would go for slope soaring anything longer makes me nervous the closer to the ground the glider gets.

    • @SlopeRCGliders
      @SlopeRCGliders  2 года назад

      A few of my friends fly from the same spot. However, there isn’t any parking nearby and the landing area is not very big, so most of the local fliers go to a better spot a few miles down the coast.

    John, you surely have access to a world-class RC glider site! Did you have any trouble getting access? Here in the Northwest part of the US, we frequently have to travel some distance to a good site, and getting owner permission can be a hassle.

    • @SlopeRCGliders
      @SlopeRCGliders  2 года назад

      I’m very lucky as the slope is just a short walk from my house and is ‘open access’ land.
