Very nice Matt 👍🏻. I did see you flying in one of Andrews videos and thought to myself, Matt will be doing a slope video soon and here is. 👍🏻 Slope soaring is a great sport when the wind is playing ball 👍🏻

Nice slope
@heady20083 жыл бұрын
It's actually the site of an Iron Age fort. It's not the biggest of slopes but it's shape and the fact that the land infront is sloping away for miles helps concentrate the available wind.

Nice plane!, all my FPV planes are balsa, they are lighter than foamies and my own designs so have stuff where I want it.

Built a G-Blink myself noticed the hatch not fitting very well did you forget to cut the 2 formers in the hatch that was a bit of the build i nearly missed.
@RagTheNutsOff3 жыл бұрын
Leave the hatch to last and make it fit before laminating. You do need to cut down to make it fit, I used a Dremel and a disk/plate to do that. Also no magnets for me, just some belenderm tape and a friction fit. Hope that helps! Matt

Very pretty looking model! YES adding a motor was my first thought. Possibly a small fpv setup. So this same model there is a build option to add a motor? (Slope soaring looks like SO MUCH fun! Alas Im a terrible LOS pilot : ( )

I have an FPV proposal. There is nothing more cool than landing FPV. It heightens the experience because things are happening, and the ground is coming up, and it is total immersive experience. Here is the proposal: FPV landing with PAPI lights that shoots the landing decent approach. PAPI lights would give you the proper glide descent angle. I have not yet seen any youtubers make a PAPI light FPV landing approach video. I just think that would be so neat. ===== I personally have not flown rc in 20 years, but I am looking at the turbo timber with its flaps and slats and I want to do FPV touch and go.By the way, PAPI lights are not hard to make. It doesn’t even have to be a ‘light’ It can just be visible white and red paint that is half covered (ie the red is covered up at a certain visual angle and the white at another angle). PAPI lights. ===== So, what do you think? Would you ever consider a PAPI light landing FPV video? Thx.

It was a very predictable model to fly and penetrated better in the gusty conditions than a model of it's size and weight has any right to. I tried several loops and it did just flop over at the top. You also had to be ready to catch it if just slowly cruising the slope edge as a gust of wind could easily pick a wing up and roll the model into the edge
