EPP slope racer now SR-1

Just got back from a short trip up the Orme with the little monster. Only had the one flight with my Funjet glider, and there was next to no wind. Saw Rich and The Boy Barnes up there, although Rich was looking more like a Yeti....

did he fly it Andy

Not whilst I was there, but there was a good couple of hours of daylight left after I went home....

Did some test chucks with no wind I have to admit I thought what a peice of shine this fooker is, trying too hard giving it a really good shove made it twist & flip over, as Mark has said about 5mph wind a nice gentle push & away it went straight down, a dollop of up trim & right aileron sorted, gained plenty of height, retrimmed for a bit of speed, 15mins later couldn't get it to land had to eventually as it went dark, so far pretty good in the turn not so good in the loop a few more tweeks tonight ready for tommorrow, I'll be there as previously posted about 1300.

1300 good thats better

Just got back from the Orme, where I managed to grab 15 min on the sticks flying the SR-1. It certainly flies nice! The wind was perhaps a tad strong for it unballasted, but it is certainly very agile and responsive!

Andy (who is wondering what the SR bit stands for?)

probably the clue is in the title of the post perhaps slope racer minus 1

AH, well spotted. I thought it might have been a bit more subtle than that....

I got to play today too, Very impressed!

Its far more manovuable than the wildthings i was flying with, faster across the slope, better speed retension in the turn, awsome roll rate, and exalent stall recovery!
