Oh! MY! With an onshore breeze that looks like a FANTASTIC slope soaring site! I am jealous.
Do you understand what you have there?

Not sure you do. The Cub would be a lousy sloper, too heavy and way too much drag. You want a slippery plane with great lift. Weight depends on the flying conditions. Slope is done with no power, no motor, only a small receiver battery. Servo control is all you use. I've had single flights lasting more than 30 minutes with 700mA NiMh batteries that last all day. Here's one simple example at random I found. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKcLsru25xs |
