SLOPE SOARING PAGE

Slope soarers use the vertical component of a wind as it is forced up and over the slope of a hill.

This means that the type of model that can be flown depends on the strength of the wind. In very light winds thermal models may be best suited , whereas in stronger winds you need stronger, heavier built models which in extreme cases may have to have extra weight added in the form of lead ballast
