I use to slope a GL all the time, you need a lot of rudder throw, at least
45 deg. each side and you need ballast in strong lift.
They are tricky to bring back in one piece because they are really too
fragile for most of the slope sites I have flown.
You would be better off with an EPP Highlander.

[RCSE] Gentle Lady on slope

2001-06-29 Thread Arne Ansper


Hi!

What kind of slope (how big and steep) is required for Gentle Lady? Or is
it impossible or pointless at all? I just attempted to fly mine on the
biggest local slope and was lucky enough to get it back undestroyed. The
slope is steep and quite low (about 15 meter high), the wind was strong
(the plane was moving very slowly). There was some lift near the edge
(plane raised sharply couple of meters), but it was impossible to turn
back (plane was drifting very quickly downwind when I changed the cource).
Was the slope too small? Wind too strong? Or do I just need the aileron
ship?
