steve tomlin Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Hi, new to forum and flying well sort off. When I was a kid I had a go at slope soaring but gave it up but my wife told me I needed a hobby (seriously) so I ended up buying a Futaba 6J and a STmodels Discovery which I'm slowing getting the hang of. This got me to thinking about slope soaring, I've been out scouting for sites the last couple of weeks and had a rummage around my mums attic. I found a nearly complete glider of unknown name and a set of foam wings from a middle phase. So the million dollar question, do I get a middle phase advanced make up the fus and use the existing beginner wings until I'm ready to go for the advanced or buy something else like an easy glider.?

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 The simple answer is I don't know Steve, I know little about gliders and nothing about a ST Discovery But i'm sure some of the others do, so i'll bump your post John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Well as the original leccyflyer, old and new., who is a recent slope convert and has just had a cracking day on the slope, personally I don't think you'll go far wrong with the Easyglider , which I've found to be a really decent, solid model on both the slope and flat field )electric assisted glider). AS it happens, on a cracking day on the slope, one of my clubmates was flying a Middle Phase and I was mightily impressed by that as well.
