Angelwing SOAS soaring at St Cyrus in Aberdeenshire

Really impressed with the way the Angelwing Designs SOAS goes

That's well cool. Wish I'd not seen this. Could be another hobby starting!

RC slope soaring is a great hobby. There is something special and very rewarding about flying on only rising air currents with no motor or propeller to assist, plus it gets you out to some beautiful places. Give it a go!

@@jetplaneflyer thanks Steve, I'm seriously considering it. I'd love to learn to fly one and as a family we love walking so it would be a great way to get out and explore the country aswell. Is there a set up you could recommend for a complete beginner?

Dave, sorry, missed your last message. For a beginner something made from foam is not a bad shout as they dont need building and they bounce when crashrd. You could do a lot worse than the dream flight Alula, it packs down small so easy to carry when you are out on a walk and they fly really nicely. You would need servos, a receiver, transmitter and flight battery, but the dealer you buy from I'm sure would make recommendations. For a Transmitter the Radiomaster Zorro is good if you want something compact and portable but still very capable.
