R/C Slope Soaring Videos |

 R/C
slope soaring is a great way to combine the need for speed and aerobatics with a love of gliders and the benefit
of relatively low cost. There is no fuel to buy, no expensive brushless motors and LiPo battery packs (2 or more
per model) and no waiting for charging. With today's spread spectrum radios, you can fly for hours at a time
without having to wait for a frequency channel to clear. Sure, you can spend big bucks if you really want to, but
for $100 for an airplane and a $200 radio system you can be in the air. The biggest challenge to a lot of people
is finding a slope with enough wind and a big enough clear area for landing. You can toss the glider from just
about any size opening, but you'd better be sure there is a place to land. These videos showcase some of the large
variety of models available, from small foam slope combat ships costing under $100 to 1/2-scale monsters that will
set you back thousands.
