Hey all, I got out today since we had 15-20 from the east so that works here pretty well. There was some lake effect snow but it has been so long, I didn't let that stop me. What's a little blizzard to a grounded slope flyer? 20 degrees and blowing snow. I flew the Mini Acacia I got from Tom at f3x.com for the first time. Quite a rude thing to do to a plane, throwing it out in a blizzard, but it rocked! I will definately need to make some ballast though, there was tons of lift and I would love to hear it scream. Still, I got to do some close in passes about 20 feet in front of me and tearing through a 90 degree bank turn, it does sing! The site overlooks Lake Michigan, sorta like a frozen Sunset Beach. 2 launches, about 30 minutes of flying and 2 nice landings. Those snow banks are good for something! Can't wait for my Prodij which should be here soon. Maybe Mt Baldy, Indiana Saturday. -- Greg Midwest Sloping http://www.gtdesign.net/soaring If you have a slope location you like and want to add it to our list, give us a description, directions and contact info, send it to Greg RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
