Thanks darock for all this info! will definitely give it a careful try.

I am flying an Airtronics Peregrine which I built from the old kit, found it by coincidence, and I have so far only flown it from the slope.
I have however fitted the provided tow hook and would like to try some flat field soaring.

I did fly from a hi start 20 years ago but only a Graupner Mosquito on a simple and very small hi start. Was OK but not spectacular.

My major activity is in scale models but do enjoy an occasional sailplane build and some "pure" flying. No electrics for me.

Also have a BOT kit I plan to build soon and a Graupner scale LS-4 which will combine scale and soaring for me.

It seems I have much more access to flat fields than slopes, so decided to give it a try.
