Ahi RC Glider Slope Soaring on my Local Hill

Slope Soaring on my local hill with an Ahi RC Glider. It`s been 10 years or so but need the exercise so why not walk to my slopes?
Thumbs are rusty, my legs are weak but managed to get there and back for my Hobbit adventure, even sat in a hole for a while to let the rain blow through. Just about to launch and saw another flyer setting up, he drove 1 1/2 hours to get there so guess others think it`s a pretty good slope as well. Took me over 2 hours, and I can probably see my house with binoculars, I shall have to speed up a bit.

Hi, I really enjoyed your video! I just bought my AHI last month and have not hade time to put it together yet. I am thankful you took time to make this video and make thqt long hike to show us.

[@valegliders]

Great to hear you enjoyed it. It`s a fun little glider and you will have a blast flying it. Appreciate you taking a look 👍

[@stepheny6321]

Thank you for the explanation

[@glynmatthews6697]

What a ridge - need to check that out 👍🏻

[@valegliders]

I may be biased, but think it`s a pretty good area for all wind directions. Hope to feature a few more local slopes in future vids. Thanks for taking a look👍

[@tombobb]

inspiring 👍

[@valegliders]

Thanks 👍

[@hansparam]

Very nice...but this kind of hilltop and weather is very notorious for lightning strikes

[@valegliders]

Thanks, will be careful👍

I think you are perhaps above Pewsey, I used to live in Wilcott, drank at the Barge and flew all over those ridges. Wonderful place for glider guiders.

[@valegliders]

Haha, its a small world. Have neglected my local slopes for the last 10 years and hardly saw anyone flying. It seems they have not been forgotten though, especially for the large scale gliders as there is some great landing areas. Thanks for the sub, my first for many years.👍

@@valegliders it's been a few years. I fly Alton Barnes quite a bit in a SE. May see you up there?

[@valegliders]

@@rumbey1 For sure, gradually getting back into it

[@stepheny6321]

Nice video...what do DS mean?

[@valegliders]

Thanks. Dynamic Soaring: Flying on the back of the hill and accelerating the plane through the wind shear, like this.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zp_cipSCZcl6d6M

Hey there.This is from PCBWay. Glad you r back. Any chance we could be participating in your future RC projects?:D

[@valegliders]

It is possible, though I do have my own cnc foam cutting machine and a cnc router which I could bolt a laser onto. Hope to do lots of building as I get back into the hobby so you never know.

@@valegliders awesome to know! possible to leave us a livechat portal?：）
