My friend and I have a flying field about 2 miles from my house. It's wonderful! We have a 600 foot x 80 foot runway with a commanding view. In the glider world, I fly mostly electrics. Our field is at the base of a mountain, so I do what I guess wo…
This was a new site to fly at for me, amazing lift in light conditions. Lost a plane in the back but found it the next day.
The planes are a Fusion, GV-60 and Uberworks Raven.

- I have been flying for about a year and a half, started with an electric J3 foam cub then started to add a few other electric planes. Then added an IC plane, that didnt last long, so got another that lasted a little longer, then another which lasted about twenty flights. Heard about slope soaring, decided to give it a go and havent looked back.
