Default good aerobatic slope soarer

hi everyone !!!!!

I was woundering if anyone could recomend a good aerobatic slope soarer kit. I've been flying the sig Ninja which is quite fast and manouverable and flys well in light winds. Is there another kit just as good or better ???? Thankyou ........

petey,

Like most thing in this hobby, there's a lot of "that depends on"s to answering your question. It would be hard to reccommend anything without knowing about the wind conditions where you fly, what the kanding zones are like, and (probably most important) the size and condition of your pocketbook and your willingness to part with its contents.

That being said, let me start you off with some websites to check out:

- Trick RC (www.zagi.com) The old Zagi wing. Inexpensive, tough and a lot of fun
- California Sailplanes (www.californiasailplanes.com) or you might try Canterbury Sailplanes - same stuff but Canterbury is from NZ and might be cheaper for you. Nice EPP warbirds and racers
- Leading Edge Gliders (www.leadingedgegliders.com) great EPP warbirds small to large sizes
- Sky King RC Products (www.skykingrcproducts.com) bringing back some classic slope designs. Check out the Harris Nelson "Shrike"
- Slopeflyer.com (www.slopeflyer.com) go to "The Store". Large selection in all kinds of price ranges. Check out the Airtech "Pixel" among others.

Try a Google search under "slope gliding" or something like that. You'll be surprised how much is out there. Good Luck.

You could also try Combatwings.com They have a few different models. I fly the XR. It's pretty much like a Zagi, except it seems to do better in lighter winds.
