RE: recomending a 1st time slope plane
Whoa! First of all let me thank you all for responding with such enthusem. Let me try to answer some of your questions posed to me. Iv'e always wanted to do this .I'm a experenced nitro pilot, and builder, I Live in the high desert of Nevada ele 4.800'. The mountain of the Sierra Nevada provides plenty of wind through out the year. I don't know any body in my area that flys sloapers, theres 1 or 2 guys fro the field that said they might be interested in doing this The spot that I thought I'd choose to launch is what looks like a giant 60' burm with a 45 degree that drops into a canyon. The wind is always blows up this burm ,the terain is scetchy with sage rocks but the launch spot has light gravel and sand. My radio is a JR7202, as for my pockets ask me on our second date.
Happy flying NJ
