Slope Soaring Again - Why don't you try it!

Windy again - Me and Mike went to Detling slope soaring and as it's Wednesday we never expected anyone else to be there.
NO we were not the first "nuts" there - four others beat us to it.
Want to try it? The Zagi is just £40 and some parcel tape - a couple of quid. Two old 148 servo's you put in the bin and that old 35Mhz Rx and a battery and that all you need to enjoy this side of the hobby.
The Zagi is almost unbreakable - the impacts it takes are unbelievable and you just pick it up and throw it into the sky again...
If you want advice or help - ask - loads of us have made them...

Hi Paul. Looks good for Saturday? Would you be interested? If you are and if Mike wants to go we could do it again say between 12 and 2:30 as long as the forecast stays the same...
Again I ask if anyone else is interested in going - Give me or Jan a call.
Loads of you would enjoy this - as long as you wrapped up well.

Pete,

The wind speed is currently showing over 40 MPH South Westerly for Saturday!

What do you think?

Doom and Gloom Mike!

Sounds great to me - just make sure you have put some lead in and it will be fine. Force 6 on the Zagi was never any problem so are you coming?

Don't be a wuss where's your sense of adventure ;) lol anyway we got Peter looking after us ;)

Broken Wing said...

Don't worry about the wind - I'm taking along a few ground stakes and hooks together with rope and harnesses so you won't get blown away...

speedy brit said...

Don't worry about me don't think i'll blow away and as for Mike a few tent pegs and guide ropes should anchor him down okay ;)

So it looks like Me, Paul and Mike again - is there no one who wants to have a go - I did offer my own plane to fly if you wanted to have a go...
