Slingsby Prefect Trying Her Best On The Slope

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I'll definately be flying her some more on the slope, this little conversion just keeps giving and giving! 😁👍

[@fltltcrashcrocker5017]

Watching your videos makes me homesick sometimes. I do miss England and the rolling green hills. Great flying on a breezy day. Keep having fun and keep up the great videos.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

I think how lucky I am to be born amongst these surroundings and how brilliant it is to share it via our hobby, glad you appreciate it and thanks for watching and commenting 🙂👍

[@ModelAV8RChannel]

Cliff I think you found the way to fly this one! That was brilliant! John Woodfield would be proud. Beautiful scenery as well, what a spot.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Many thanks Adam, I first flew that little slope back in '75, it has a lot of memories for me, now the fun continues the only thing missing is a buce blue ocean JW style 😁👍

[@johnshoosmith]

What a beautifully perfect spot for flying! Again youre too brave in that wind, bit yeah, inspiring video for future projects and learning generally.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks John, as long as you keep pointing into wind there's not much that can go wrong but I admit I was on the limits of what she's capable of, cheers and thanks for watching

[@DadsRCHangar]

Great control Cliff, looked like a bird of prey static in the air. Certainly fun. 👍🏻

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

It's a bit like prop hanging where you have to put in lots of control inputs almost without thinking to balance the gusts 🤔👍

[@mikelowe9906]

Fantastic! Well done Cliff!!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Mike 👍

[@Watchingthevideos99]

Now that looks like fun! And what a beautiful hill for flying. Wish I had access to such an amazing site. Nice work Cliff. Very cool.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Glad you enjoyed it, we are lucky for local slopes 🙂

[@vonSchwartzwolfe]

Awesome. One of my favorite forms of flying.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Mine too, Ouzel, especially in ideal conditions 👍

[@michealohalloran4128]

That is exactly how I imagined mine would fly back in t he 70s with full size servoes battery and receiver. It didnt! Well done Cliff lovely little glider.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Micheal, it didn't stand a chance looking back, it must have weighed a ton 😁👍

[@dutchloveRC]

nicely done buddy!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Dutch 👍

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Cliff the little glider that could is fantastic on the slopes. Jeff in LA USA

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Cheers Jeff, and she looks really good in the air 🙂👍

[@ukuleleleigh6514]

This is Brilliant ❤

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Leigh 🙂👍

[@diestimmeausdemnirvana8286]

Nice plane and nice flight. Congrats.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks a lot! 👍

[@davidquerry8869]

That was cool Cliff.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks David, she's been a most heartwarming little model 🙂

[@NickChittyFlying]

Perfect for the dunes

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

It would be Nick 🙂👍

[@mikeparkercreative5136]

That was beautiful 😍 love it! Great fun!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks so much Mike, she struggled at times but for a model that only weighs a couple of ounces she did really well!! 👍

[@mikeparkercreative5136]

@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Absolutely. She really had that soaring attitude. That's a nice location too!

[@markymark3075]

Fantastic, thanks!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thanks Mark 👍

[@barkebaat]

What a beautiful slope! You Brits must have the best country for sloping :-)

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Indeed, but this is just a local 'pimple' but it's fun for a quick outing 👍

[@SteffenRC]

Such an elegant little plane.. I've never done slope soaring. Looks like it could be quite relaxing... That little slingsby is a great little plane.. Love it. Appears you need rubber boots to fly there... 🙂

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

It's not difficult to learn will, you end up with a glider for every condition, sometimes relaxing, sometimes adrenaline pumping, the golden rule when you're learning is to always turn out from the slope not towards it 🤔 rubber boots on order 😁👍

[@EJ-74]

Very NIIIIICE 👌🏻

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thank you EJ Cheers! 👍

[@kev4354]

Very Nice Love it

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Thank you Kev! Cheers!

[@bobflyman]

Did well considering the conditions.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

It did Bob, much better than I expected 👍

[@collinmccallum]

thumbs up again!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

A tad windy perhaps Collin but she managed it pretty well 🙂👍

[@raymond4191]

Aaaah .. some sloping 😀👍

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Didn't she do well as Bruce used to say 🙂👍

[@raymond4191]

@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes She did 🙂

[@andylloyd3064]

Excellent little glider, Cliff, and very well flown in such challenging conditions. Please could you remind me - what do you use for tissue tightening? Do you just use pre-shrunk tissue or do you apply a coat of thinned shrinking dope as well? Thank you for the videos. I'm in the process of building a KK Senator, my first proper rubber model since 1976..

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Hi Andy, sometimes I use thinned shrinking dope other times a rattle can of matt lacquer, either way I pre shrink the tissue onbthe model with water using a fine mister. I don't pre-shrink my tissue but I should do for the more delicate models. I've got a Senator to build as well, I'll probably convert it to RC like I did with my Ajax 🙂 Good for you getting back into true modelling, it's most enjoyable and makes a nice change 👍

[@Yogenh]

That was really good I wish that I had a slop near me

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

We are lucky Paul 👍😁

[@Yogenh]

Still looks like fun

[@feltav5719]

Niiiiiice!!!!

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

@@feltav5719 Thanks Felipe 🙂

[@chrisriley5258]

Lots of poop in the field then cliff, better when the wind drops.

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Yes and yes Chris, I nearly came a cropper...it would have made a good video as well 😁

[@thebarronflights]

Blimey, I would have thought you would need more wind. Plenty down trim and penetrate the air and make it travel. Got it back in one piece though and so a result. I`ve not been sloping for ages. Slag heaps can be good fun too. I used to slope all the time, once you get the hang of it you can be airborne for hours n hours. 🤓 Take ya googles with you. 🥸

[@CliffHarveyRCPlanes]

Yeah, more wind would definitely have helped Nick 😁
