I am a complete beginner to slope soaring with a wing...I was stoked to happen upon 5 guys fighting with wings on the Big Island of Hawaii one day...I purchased a Windrider Bee2 along with a Hitec Optic 6 radio...In assembling the plane I ran into a major problem...Ming Lou, the guy who manufactures the plane out of Honk Kong neglected to include any instructions...He emailed me a pdf file that left a lot to be desired...I queried him numerous times without a lot of success...Either Ming Lou does not want to deal with a beginner, his grasp of english is abysmal or he has little patience...I requested basic info and emailed him supporting photos and he just did not come through...Does anyone have a Bee2?...I am also interested in a soaring flight simulator program that would be compatible with a Mac...I have a feeling my biggest hurdle is going to be finding a sloper in Ketchum, Idaho...Any help is greatly appreciated...J

TIA

That'll teach you to buy in the USA!

Hi J

I do not sell the Bee2 but I possibly can help you get a grasp on how to build it.

Send me a PM to get the ball rolling.

I too have a Mac and I have since 1989 [oops, that shows my age a bit] and the best Sim Programme is CRRCSIM see the description at <http://crrcsim.berlios.de/wiki/index.php?n=CRRCsim.CrrcSimFaq> and the best thing is its free.

Cheers

That would be tough...my cars, motorcycle, most of our housewares, clothes and whatnot come from outside our country...what to do?
