getting close now with my PSS Boomerang

[How many planes have you got?]

I never got enough and need just 1 more ,and maybe just another 1 or 2 ,or just a couple more

[Spoilerons ? on my Speedo]

your perfect setup would see a high sink rate with a slighlty nose high attitude

[Spoilerons ? on my Speedo]

I'd better clarify that , I dont know what radio your using but you need

at least 3 programable mixes 1: being flap to elevator (compensation)

2: flap to throttle 3: elevator to throttle a few more mixes need if you actually had flaps as well as just aileron you can get Crow braking ( Butterfly) happening

[Spoilerons ? on my Speedo]

Now mix flap to throttle and you can have full throttle for flying throttle off for spoileron extention.

well with about 27weeks to go till our slope fest My PSS project this year is well on schedule so Ive added a few shots in the album but its got its wings on now

[Twisted Aileron]

The preferred method of sort twists in Balsa is to use a mix of 50 50 water and ammonia on the bare balsa wieght it flat in the sune and let it dry it will be straight from there on in

Yep once that bug bites there is no turning back welcome to you new addiction ,and dont worry to much about the climbs after a season you'll be able to crack walnuts between your calf muscles

and then you get really addicted and start building PSS models lol

my lastest and if you want some thing to look like aluminium you use aluminium

Thanks Tim but its a strange setup and really fussy seem really clunky compared to other forum set ups ,best way is not to post links or paste documents obviously . I apologize for the interruption to the normal posting .

[The joy of slope]

Andy ,my advise is to right now plan on a few 100 pounds a year to begin with as your sloping allowance . Once the slope bug bites resistance is futile , Although I've not seen or flown a wildthing they are a very popular choice in England . There are many other models available but its wise to stick with a model with local knowledge behind it. As to an engine

and a Zagi steer clear of it you don't need either .And I'm sure that most the guys on this this thread would be most upset by the whiring noise of a prop wrecking the serenity of the slope. Stick with these lads and you'll be a slope flying fool like the rest of us in no time

Is there a cure for slope fever ? No you'll never get it out of your system .

Steve,

its pretty damp down here at the moment we just had 100mm of rain in 6 hrs with lots of local flooding going on,so after 10 years plus of drought now we are going under water

This is the second time this has happened and its my post edited I've never had any problem with thousands of post on many many forums I belong to . That post was no different to any post I've made so there something strange with the forums setup I think I'll give a miss

The eppler section has a bad habit of chamging pitch as speed increases you be forever retrimming at different speeds

P.S just added a few photo's of progress on my latest PSS build

[The joy of slope]

Hello gents ,

Happy new year to you all , I've just had a look at the model your looking at Ian to me it very pricey for a foam model you could get a 2.6 mtr glass ASW28 for less that are well know flyers . Or a DG1000 of which I have 2 I also have the ASW28 and prefer its flying attitude

still if you looking for a foamie ,then I humbly suggest looking to the ST model range ,

once again they do an ASW28 and a DG1000 with and up and go,They are well proven and widely reviewed . Now back to building for me

cheers all

[The joy of slope]

Shhhhhh everyone will want in at this rate , you've now raised the car accident rate in Britian due to the fact of slopers staring out the windows of their cars looking at every bump in the ground and thinking what wind direction would make it work

Well Big Phil, I guess you are well and trully on the slippery slope (pardon the pun), Gets adictive don't it? I'm not sure if I should thank or curse Tim for introduing me to the slope.

I'm making the best of the wet weather we have up here in N. Wales, I've been putting off building the U2 Dragon Lady I bought from LEG because of lack of instructions. Jack from LEG dosn't supply instructions, he says "There are loadsa build threads out there", Hmmm, Well if there are I can't find them for the LEG U2! I am going to make one mod and that is to incorporate I weak link (breakaway) for the wings. The Orme is a very unforgiving venue if you get the landing aproach wrong! (which is the normal course of events for me ).

Edited By Marty Ball on 07/09/2011 14:00:08
pm me you email addy and I'll send you a PDF file of the build instruction for a 60 EPP U2 from tuff planes very similiar builds. anyway its here if you want it

[The joy of slope]

Dont take this the wrong way but flying slope is nothing like flying power I fly some large stuff as well but only pure slope , the 1 thing that all power flyers suffer from is a heavy elevator thumb , you have to remember up elevator does not equal altitude gain

leave the elevator alone and you'll be ok

[The joy of slope]

You wont want to fly an SL in 70mph breeze or you'll re kit it before you caan blink .

get your self somme epp foam and seeing as you in the US a windrider Bee or any of the EPP birds from Windrider and you'll have so much more success save the SL for no wind or flat feild thermalling
