I tried something totally new with my Aerobird today. I took it slope soaring. What a blast! The motor is off and it just floats along the cliff on the lift.

Unfortunately while the wind was doing 10-15 mph, the temperature was around 10 degrees F. My hands were so cold that when I took my gloves off to put the rubber bands on the wing, it actually hurt.

I only flew for about 3 minutes, when the transmitter battery warning beeper
sounded. I don't think they are that old, I think they were just too cold. I can understand that.

So rather than try new batteries, I decided to call it quits. But that was enough to show me that the Aerobird can slope quiet well.

And, the wind was not really at the ideal angle. It was not straight into the
hill. It was more like a 45 degree angle which is not ideal, but there was enough lift to take the bird up!

This was my first slope soar, but it won't be the last! So much fun!
