Ahi RC Glider Slope Soaring on my Local Hill
Slope Soaring on my local hill with an Ahi RC Glider. It`s been 10 years or so but need the exercise so why not walk to my slopes?
Thumbs are rusty, my legs are weak but managed to get there and back for my Hobbit adventure, even sat in a hole for a while to let the rain blow through. Just about to launch and saw another flyer setting up, he drove 1 1/2 hours to get there so guess others think it`s a pretty good slope as well. Took me over 2 hours, and I can probably see my house with binoculars, I shall have to speed up a bit.

I may be biased, but think it`s a pretty good area for all wind directions. Hope to feature a few more local slopes in future vids. Thanks for taking a look👍
Thank you for the explanation
inspiring 👍

Very nice...but this kind of hilltop and weather is very notorious for lightning strikes

I think you are perhaps above Pewsey, I used to live in Wilcott, drank at the Barge and flew all over those ridges. Wonderful place for glider guiders.

Haha, its a small world. Have neglected my local slopes for the last 10 years and hardly saw anyone flying. It seems they have not been forgotten though, especially for the large scale gliders as there is some great landing areas. Thanks for the sub, my first for many years.👍
Nice video...what do DS mean?

It is possible, though I do have my own cnc foam cutting machine and a cnc router which I could bolt a laser onto. Hope to do lots of building as I get back into the hobby so you never know.
