If you want a nice floater then the dynaflight Bird of Time is a beuty.3 meter wingspan about £180.Sussex Model Centre.I have one and can recommend it.Alan Williams  

One of the best soaring vidios that I have seen!  

That looks nice.Does the price compare with fms   Edited By David Ashby on 05/04/2012 19:28:35

I do e soar on setups of 50 watts per pound weight of model without any issues and ample power.500 watts seems extreem for a foam glider like the blizzard.500 watts properly set up would fly a big glider.What a thought! Alan Williams    

Just got back from holiday.Thanks for the  e mail.I will be following with interest.Alan Williams  

Thanks for the reply.I will order one soon and follow your blog.Alan Williams  

Hello all,I am thinking of building the Galaxy Models Chipmunk.Has anyone experienced this build?Information and advice would be appreciated.Thanks.Alan Williams

The most important question is Where do you park your car?  

That is as good as anything on Lift Ticket.When can we expect the movie?Alan Williams  

In my experience there are far better gliders out there for ariel photography than the easy pigeon.Mine used to land like a racing car. Go slow and it would tip stall.I moved on to the multiplex easy glider,a completely different performer and will fly slowly enough for your purpose.Hope this helps.Alan Williams  

Look on u tube.There are a few videos of this plane.I quite fancy it myself Alan Williams  

The strongest wind I have flown in on a flat field would be 10 to 12 miles per hour and it was ok.Most gliders will cope with wind in my experience.The problems arise with ground rotor turbulance when you want to land in high wind speeds Alan Williams  

I have found the perkins seagull glider to be better behaved than the easypigeon and lands ok.Alan Williams  

Try an easy glider pro and insert metal rod in the wing joiner tube.These are a reasonable price.Alan Williams  

Hi guys,I have just bought a Pat Teakle HP18 V tail glider off the net.The glider is a part built kit and has no documentaion about the build process,control throws etc.Can anyone help out with this information?Thanks.Alan Williams  

Thanks.I believe multiplex did it.No more new toys for now then.Alan Williams  

What is the large wingspan white glider in the foreground of the picture.Im begining to get tempted.Alan Williams  

Peter Miller in his article on the werewolf build states that the glide is protracted.Some thoughts about this as a PSS machine then?Anyone done it?  

HI,I am on Walney Island,Barrow-in-Furness,Cumbria.I am retired and just about to buy a motorhome.Thats why I am seeking slope sites.Thanks.Alan Williams  

Is there a publication detailing the various slope soaring sites around the UK? Can anybody help,MR Ellison perhaps?  

I( think it would be a good idea if Mr Ellison made his own lift ticket film.He does an annual trip around the UK flying on his favourite slopes.So what about it?.I for one would be a customer.Alan Williams  

Thanks for all these replies guys.I have flown most of the multiplex foamies over the past few years and they are all good flyers.I was up the Orme middle of last week anf it was wall to wall sunshine with no wind.I flew an easy star from the part above the church.The lift was minimal.I looked at the regular flying site you use.Dogs all over the place.There are lots of nice bed and breky places in Church Walks below the Orme all reasonably priced.Thanks again.Alan Williams.  

Thanks for the replies folks.As recommended I have checked it out on u tube.You really have to watch some of that video.I will have to have one and wifes offered to pay.Alan Williams  

HI all,Iam looking at small slope soarers and came across the windrider fox foam slope glider.At 63 inch span and only 15 ounces it should fly in light winds.Has anyone tried it.I fancy taking one to the Orme,so MR Ellison doesnt shout at my electric gliders.Thanks.Alan Williams
