How bout a thread for people to share the Buzz they're getting.

Here's my story. A self taught pilot who bought a 4 ch Electric Piper Cub so that I get a 4ch Electric Glider so I could learn to slope.

Well heres the Buzz, been going off the beaten track to find slopes. After finding many deadends, I finally managed to find a jungle track to take me around a village to a hill about 500 m from the coast.

Climbing onto the top - dripping sweat; I am surprised by the view of the grass slope out to the coast and a stronger breeze than what I had expected. The wind was what I guessed to be perfect - let's try my first non-motor assisted launch...

Threw the glider out and felt tranquility as I realised no motor would be needed, I did in fact have the perfect wind!! (I now know 12-17 km/hr is fine) Then the buzz of exploring how far away I could go and still find lift. What a peaceful and inspiring feeling piloting a slope model is.

Then the REAL BUZZ - a local hawk coming over and investigating my model and flying together. After several minutes a mock attack by the hawk... I power up get above him or her...power off and dive down near the hawk...Then just a few more minutes of flying around together before the hawk loses interest.

So thats my buzz. And now I'm thinking that the next glider I get better be able to perform as well as that hawk....
