I recently purchased a couple slope planes (composite wings/fiberglass fuselage). The Shrike from Sky King R/C Products is a cool slope plane with pivot wings (pitcheron). The second plane is the Snipe C that also has pivot wings (wingerons) and it is still listed on Northeast Sailplanes website. Both should be great on light slope lift days but will perform on brisk slope wind days even without ballast. I like the speed and aerobatic abilities of wing twister planes and I should have the Shrike ready for duty soon. The Snipe is next in line.
