This is one great glider!

Flight of the Leprechaun in about 5 Mph Breeze. I haven't flown it for a while and forgot just how well it floats about. Some of the video looks like it's been slowed down but it really is flying that slow.

Another early morning flight of the Leprechaun in about 5 Mph Breeze. I haven't flown it for a while and forgot just how well it floats about. Some of the video looks like it's been slowed down but it really is flying that slow.

[@emaila3065]

It's wonderful John..😍.

[@PB61234]

Love the gentle flight! Did you build this model?

[@funfly35]

Beautiful John !! Which glider is it ? Were can I found the plan ?

[@kenpayne3822]

Hello John, where can I buy this glider?

[@bkbinj6320]

Beautiful! Thank you.

[@LarsBaeter]

I would like to press the Like button 1000 times if it makes any sense. No turbulences, no hectic maneuvers, this breathtaking nature, just beautiful

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you so much!

[@travelbugse2829]

It flies like a tame bird - it wheels around, comes back to nudge you for reassurance then floats away to soar and circle round the sky... Magic! Many thanks again.

[@jayebyrd00]

I re-watched the video after reading your comment. A whole new perspective hit me. I actually saw that bird as a living, breathing being. Doing exactly what you described.

[@redhairbooks6017]

This is one of the most beautiful rc videos I have ever seen! What a stunning glider and a great piece of flying too!

[@ridebecauseucan1944]

Watching your videos has the most calming effects. The world is crazy but for a few minutes all that is forgotten when I watch your graceful planes fly.

[@TheHarryMann]

Certainly lowers the blood pressure….

[@ianashton886]

Great the way it just floats out of your hand. Lovely !

[@Mr89Falcon]

Your gliders take on a near pet-like persona...like a retriever happily returning a ball to its owner. Thank you for your videos...they are literally therapeutic to me and a source of calming peace. Keep sharing your art!

[@zumajim]

The effortless hand launches make it seem like it's filled with helium. Beautiful and soothing.

[@bradcamillo1966]

Wow now I know why I have been flying rc gliders for over 30 years . The plane , pilot , editor , and videographer all win KZbin . 👍 to all !

[@afrog2666]

That was 4 minutes 46 seconds of pure relaxation ☺

[@homienat3374]

What a princess of the sky this is hey , just a beast of a thing, must build 1 ,one day thanks for showing 🤙🤙🤙

[@windy488]

I can see why you keep coming back to this model, it just looks right. Simply wonderful.....

[@thumper2k174]

Hands down my favorite plane you have flown John. As always the video and accompanying musical score capture the perfect feeling. Thank you for the distraction during these troubled times. May God bless you and your family with safety and good health.

[@Twobarpsi]

I'm a traditionalist. Build it yourself using plans, balsa, and Monokote. I also like slow, gentle, elevator and rudder planes. This plane is perfect!!

[@tismaz]

Nearly 80 now and have been flying gliders since I was 14. Gliders have always been my love and will continue to be so. I just wished I lived on the coast where I can slope there are no places around Phoenix that I'm aware of to fly sloping. Hang in there guy keep them coming I love it!

[@TheHarryMann]

Move 😇

[@robinbeckford]

Its free-flight ancestry shows in the light loading and designed-in stability - a pleasure to watch. Thanks

[@Armafly]

The romantic dimension of a silent flight.

[@ettoregennaro5816]

Complimenti per il volo e la colonna sonora del video! Veramente spettacolare.

[@thomascorbett2936]

It takes great skill to fly a glider that way and knowledge of the thermals coming off the ocean.

[@terenceault5623]

Uu

[@grunkohl9366]

Wow, a symphony in the wind

[@robertk.5195]

Lots of designs you put up for us are charming and/or intriguing, John. But this one really tweaks my strings. I may never get to build or fly one, but your flights sure prod me to do so! Thanks for sharing!

[@alkuhn5219]

Planes,location.music and filming are just outstanding your a real inspiration. The Leprechaun and Super Sinbad definitely have my vote. Thank's

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you!

[@pauloOficinaRC2]

I've watched this video a thousand times, I've already bought my kit, and I can't wait to start building. Greetings from Brazil.

[@JohnFHendry]

Nice Balsa designs! And what a great flying site.... Makes me miss Hawaii

[@Sp3ktral22]

I hear that your videos are being prescribed as a relaxation aid. So soothing. Thank you and your camera person for creating these pills. 👍

[@jean-louism.6563]

Vraiment très beau et agréable à regarder. Bravo à votre compagne pour toutes ces prises de vues et le montage. merci pour le travail et le partage !

[@michaelgates5323]

I never get bored watching these things fly!

[@Blitzpig]

Beautiful, thanks for adding a smile to my morning.

[@1967250s]

Just lovely. Happy to see it flying again!

[@TheHarryMann]

Perfect combination of fin area and dihedral 👌

[@mjproebstle]

your flying is poetry, a ballet. anyone can yank and crank an aircraft around the air. you fly the air around the aircraft. cheers!

[@rcflightseeker3488]

Beautiful flyer! So graceful!

[@petercary5315]

I could spend the whole day watching your videos. Such pleasure. Kudos to the cameraman and the editor.Love your choice of music too.

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thanks Peter. I’m lucky that my wife always comes out and films my flying. She is very good at it!

[@johnbeaton6973]

Hi John, beautiful to watch. Can you tell what the music is? Thanks. Krgds

[@TheScreamingFrog916]

You have the best RC Glider videos. I live in the flat land now, no hills to fly on. These videos remind me of the joy of slope flying. Thanks for sharing.

[@enricoporazzi6789]

Questo è modellismo!! Il vero modellismo. Un volo lentissimo, magico, solo il modello ed il suo costruttore, niente ansia ma tanta poesia a spazio per lasciar volare anche i propri pensieri. Bravissimo

[@wolfgang7513]

Simply great, John . You handle the plane like a pet , an amazing and calming video. Greatings from Germany, Wolfgang

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you Wolfgang.

[@UKPete]

Poetry in motion. Great filming and music to complement it. Well done!!

[@rogerjones6106]

That kind of glider and a place like that to fly, you truly have it made!

[@MasboyRC]

This is the most great of the great. Good job for you both 👍 Stay safe, wash your hands, and keep physical distancing

[@jayebyrd00]

The ocean waves add to this video. Waves rolling in from a long journey. Not crashing into the shore. Just gently tumbling to rest.

[@claudiusmalaman7498]

This video makes me love this sport even more! So beautiful!

[@samnelson3526]

I love how you launch it simply by letting go - it's so gentle!

[@larrydesoto3688]

Your right ! And Enjoyed watching you two doing what you enjoy !!

[@hectorplascencia2271]

It really looks fantastic. It resembles those birds which glide for long periods. Congratulations

[@CarlosChavez-gs1ld]

Beautiful plane, awesome slow flyer, and I love the clear covering. Well done!

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you!

[@originafreerangechicken]

Your videos are beautiful. Your models are absolutely lovely. Your flying is brilliant. All so peaceful and soothing. Thank you.

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you!

[@dormantsuperhero]

A great glider, perfectly set up and skillfully flown!

[@petrlicht]

Beautiful video, weather, airplane and very good Pilot and camerawoman 👍🏻

[@K3Flyguy]

Very uplifting video! Thank you for sharing your passion! She is a one in a million sailplane! While she certainly can float, she obviously is pretty nimble as well! Very common combination from an older design, well done!

[@sergiogodoym4]

Amazing the level of control that you have with it...excellent!

[@nateolmsted22]

When you first picked it up and it was just suddenly floating it hurt my brain for a second 😂 great flying plane!

[@donnyo65]

What a lovely graceful glider.

[@walk4718]

The way you control your models resemble large pets cavorting around you. Simply stunning, sir.

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you

[@likulakuku]

It's so smooth and gentle... L❤️ve it so...

[@ilciux88]

This one is poetry !! 😍😍 Lovvit !!

[@DavidParker-jr5bd]

Beautiful video. Great flying. Very nicely built and covered airship. After watching your videos, I just want to run out and buy every one of your featured planes.

[@beegee22]

Simply beautiful! Amazing launch - lift and release! Beautiful slow flight and tight turns. The music is a perfect match for the grace of this glider.

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you for watching

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

EVERYTHING about your videos... this one especially. It's magical! Your planes, your site, the transparent colors, the backdrop. This one gave me goose bumps! Keep'm come'n! Thanks for inviting us into your wonderful site!!!

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you so much!

[@robertgordon5562]

Your wife does a fantastic job filming. The Leprechaun is a great flying sailplane!

[@TheHarryMann]

She does, a steady Eddie without any Eddie’s 😏

[@mt4m1m]

She is gorgeous

[@edwardkie380]

John I love watching how you work that rudder to inch it forward through the g-ello thick air where your flying ... the lady did some wonderful shots of it perowetting around your head (not sure I spelled that one correctly) but fun watching ... Thanks John ... A future bucket list punch item go fly with John in England some day !! 😍💚 Ed in Phoenix writes.

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thanks Ed! You will be more than welcome here and can have a go with any of my gliders.

[@JP-ss3nd]

Anybody know what this piece of music is called? Great video, superb flying.

Amazing John... Always you magnífica gliders... Thanks my friend

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Marcelo Aranega thank you!

[@mt2942]

Man...this glider moves so beautyfull

[@bberdan777]

Thanks... reminded me how much I love that. Gotta find a another bluff that hasn't been built on!

[@whalesong999]

Poetry, a quintessential airplane. Reminds me of the classic Sinbad made by Berkley models in the U.S. in the 1940s and '50s.

[@pvantuel]

Man, you are an inspiration. I love your videos.

[@deweygravesjr.122]

WOW! Just when I thought I'd already seen your best. Nice video. Great plane. Thanks John!!

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you!

[@lb954]

Lift = weight = thrust = drag....Perfection!

[@luisboza4361]

i can see the rudder movements steering glider into the wind. it' s wonderful.

[@philipr.6090]

Wonderful video sir. Thank you!

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you

Wish I could still fly some slopers grew up in southern California had to transfer to southern Indiana where powered planes are king , still have some of my old slopers though, thanks for sharing !

[@stephaniekent8483]

a beautiful video to remind all us r/c flyers that good days are coming, thanks John, I will venture out to my deserted field for a fly later on, bless from NZ down under :)

[@rcflyer40plus1]

That is beautiful.

Looks a lot like North Cornwall near Perranporth. Excellent video 😀

Ohhhh man its perfect, You are a Master. Perfect magic fly with the music to do complement. I loved. saludos desde Colombia, soy tu más grande admirador

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you!

[@danielz171]

@@SlopeRCGliders waht is the mame of planer?

[@userTJ39780]

When the Leprechaun was featured in the AMA magazine, it looked bigger somehow. It was also powered. I thought the airfoil in the horizontal stabilizer would cause the tail to rise. The reviewer said it could just levitate in a slight breeze. I guess you built a beauty.

[@rcplanesjohnreap2777]

Beautiful John.... how can anyone give it a thumbs down... Its a superb model in a superb location

[@royalanania3306]

They are like pets running to their master.

[@ncscoobysnack]

Nice video, just like the lazy bee. Thinking of building a sail plane, just looking at this makes me want to.

[@DaviddoesStuff]

I don’t know anything about gliders or flying but that was amazing to me. Nice music also. 💯👍🏻👍🏻

[@danflysrc]

Beautiful glider.. only just started following your channel, love your videos.

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Thank you!

[@levarris14]

I cried while watching the video, this was it definitely ! I built one on my own and its already finished for spring ! 😍🥰

[@SlopeRCGliders]

Fantastic stuff, hope you have some great flights with it.

[@jayebyrd00]

Just letting go of her. Not throwing her where you want her to go, not holding her back from where she wants to go. Just letting her go to do what she does best, dance on the wind.

[@nscyam]

Talk about a plane that WANTS to be in the air!

[@yobrojoost9497]

Great flyer indeed! Beautiful to watch it soar. And with only a rudder and elevator! (Nice music too, well done!)

[@TheHarryMann]

That’s a beautiful glider…

[@TheHeatingEngineer]

That's a real aeromodeller's aeroplane. Great performance. I prefer the vintage models that needed "building" not taking out of the box.

[@drewsin86]

it's hard to watch your stuff being a poor working man but I have everything I need to build a few cheap slope soarer and can't wait I'm amped up been into rc planes for 7 years thank to flite test. your stuff has always been inspiring. I see now to have what I wanted in life that I saw in your video's wasn't the stuff or the pretty planes. its the peace of mind knowing your hard work makes everything you wanted happen. you had to have worked hard to build and own all that. each one an artist and construction masterpiece. as each part of your day must have been worked on to correlate with life itself. this in itself explain life as a hole to me. things like rc planes and the people behind the groups on the internet have helped me build a life and write a story worth living even if no one reads it. so thank you. like flite test you help show what hard work makes.

[@barkebaat]

graceful flying - thanks !
