Bliss, I will send you my copy of "Endless Lift II" so you can see just what slope combat is. Also, I have taken the liberty to copy to you the following email from the RCSE Soaring Exchange [EMAIL PROTECTED] It appears you (and the other VPs) have been left out of the loop. My question is, "Why?" :-) Regis

I have talked to Carl Maroney , but he seems to be concerned about what he calls kinetic energy . The safey comm has not met yet , I think . It may help to call some of the safety comm . members , before they get too far along . It will still have to be approved by the EC . Getting it right the first time , saves time not having to go back to committee . Thanks for your interest . Bliss PS My address is 625 5th Ave S. W. Hickory , N.

I suspect, owing to the scarcity of suitable slope sites in the east, that you have not personally observed this popular r/c activity. You should understand, that slope combat is unique in attracting new young modelers (scale too) to r/c. While you may not have resources to personally observe one these get-to-gathers (formal or informal), please at least watch videos of this activity. Specifically "Endless Lift 2" http://radiocarbonart.com/Pages/el2main.html. I would be happy to lend you my copy. If you have not personally observed EPP (foam) Scale Combat, please, at least, abstain from this unwarranted (as far as gliders) debate.
