da Rock & Evan,
I see what you guys mean about the trees. The first trip I made out there, I thought this is going to be scary. I have watched a lot of slope video's, and even bought that DVD with the guy doing like 186mph. I think they call it dynamic soaring or something.
All the slopes in those videos, were like you say, treeless slopes.
I only have three sailplanes, and two of them are electric. I know, I know, that's cheating 
My only pure glider is the little Fling, but I need to get a new surge tube, as it rotted.
I am pretty much available all the time, so if you guys can put together a date for a few guys to meet up, that would be awesome.
I was Navy also, retired too, but not from the Navy. Just proud to have served. I was in 1971-75 Vietnam vet.
AeaJr,
That is some great stuff you posted links too. I will be exploring a lot of them. I could have used the one on retreiving planes from trees a couple of weeks ago.
Who says slope soaring with an electric glider is cheating? Tell them to mind their own business.
Slope soaring with anything is great! I slope with electric gliders, electric planes, pure gliders, garbage can covers, whatever I can find.
You got an electric you want to take to the slope, then fly it and tell the purists to stick it!
