Default Motorplanes on the slope

Sloping fun with foam motor planes.

It needs a good slope and a nice blow.
The Flash have 10 mm Down ailerons and 60 % snapflaps

Way back when I built the House of Balsa 1/2a Mustang as a sloper. I made it as light as I could, move everything forward, made the ailerons double the size and she flew very well. She would fly fast if you let her. Was not a floater.

Buzz.

Flying the 120 cm span.Messersmith ME 109... PSS. glider for the first time.
No Wind for the slopes, so we tow it after a Multiplex Mentor for some trim flights.

Way back in the mid 70's I flew among other things a Midwest profile C/L 60 ME 109 at Torri Pines in California, it was a blast and profile C/L kits were very popular there.
Also flew a Bobbi Hawk, great ARF for the day.... even today.
