Slope Soaring the Bwlch & PSS A4 Skyhawk maiden flight

A fun day on one of my favourite slopes, with a bunch of guys and a bunch of different models. Great fun & great banter. What more can you want from a day's flying?

That A4 Skyhawk was fantastic, congratulations!

[@electriglider]

I love the blob and its color. It’s so easy to see in the sky too. I’ve done a little bit of slope soaring. When you were flying with the eagle or whatever bird it was, that was the greatest compliment you could get. The birds are the experts we learn from them .

👍 what a beautiful a4 skyhawk 😄

[@stewartkeeble2371]

Nice Skyhawk..👍

[@thenatedog]

first video i have seen of the blob. I always like how it looks on the store page.

John woodfeild has some good videos of the blob flying

I had a sig ninja back in the late 80s that was very similar to the green model. It was fun !!

Hi guys! I'm from the Beach in Sothern California in the United States! I love this channel and I just subscribed. I want to buy the two models, the BLOB and the SAS APACHE Most of the planes here now are electric and that is nice but I prefer 2CH slope planes with out motors, some places here you can not have power on the plane. I looked up the site for NJR and I am trying to set up an account Thank you guys for the great videos, I will be checking your channel often! Daniel

[@A470RCSoaring]

Thank you Daniel for your kind remarks.

[@flyingtonyw]

A good selection of models and nice to see the wind eventually picked up. What cameras were you using, seem pretty good. Was that bird ` A Kite` ... Thanks again.

[@A470RCSoaring]

Camera for filming others flying is a Sony FDR AX53 Handycam. When I film myself flying it’s a head mounted GoPro Hero 7. Yes the bird was a red kite. Glad you enjoyed my video.

[@flyingtonyw]

Thanks for that...... I`ve heard other good reports for using Hero 7 as headcam. I just have a Turnigy, maybe I need to up the quality on it. Thanks.

[@A470RCSoaring]

@@flyingtonyw the later GoPro cameras have great stability so the footage isn’t bouncing around all over the place. And filming in 4K means that when editing I can zoom in digitally by 50% at least without loosing any quality, which I can’t do at 1080p. If I didn’t the glider would look to small in the shot.

[@flyingtonyw]

@@A470RCSoaring Thanks, I really appreciate this. The Old SAS Blob also looked good and well visible in it`s nice bright colour. Nice to see one in the air.

[@richw0123]

9mins 35 is that a PMP Bedlam?! Really rare to see them now , or is it a Synergy? I would love to see footage of that flying to see what my one could do in the hands of someone more skilled.

[@A470RCSoaring]

Yes that’s a Bedlam. He’s had it for years and it occasionally appears in my videos. Next time Josh abs I are in the slope with a decent wind I’ll get some video of it for you.

[@richw0123]

@@A470RCSoaring brilliant, thanks very much!

[@crazzysk8er147]

Hi there it is a pmp banshe and flys great all round model

[@richw0123]

@@crazzysk8er147 yes the Stan Yeo EPP gliders are great, its a shame they are not made anymore as they are perfect for learning on, there is a big hole in the market for them. I have to scratch build my ones.

[@crazzysk8er147]

@@richw0123 your right there is a big gap in the market for them I believe stan only discontinued the epp models was due to increased epp foam prices. But at least his plans for them are available

[@babingo3115]

Nice to meet you, about the aircraft flying from about 10 minutes 11 seconds in the video, how much weight is loaded? Thank yo

[@A470RCSoaring]

That video was a while ago but I don’t think any of the models flown that day had ballast. I only have one model that can add ballast and that one didn’t fly that day.

[@RC-DownUnder]

If it wasn't for so many chemtrails, I could actually enjoy the models against the blue sky. You're getting clobbered.

[@oggyoggy1299]

Chemtrails?
