A few fortunate slope flyers from around the world experienced Camp Maluhia as one of the best inland slope flying areas to fly here in the state of Hawaii. There is about 300 days of the year that consist of sunny and consistent trade wind weather. Did I mention that a few national AMA slope dur

Many midwest pilots have completed their 8-hour slope tasks at 1/2 mile long earthen dam in Brookville, IN.   Winds from the S are what you want for that location.  I did my 8-hour flight there, and it's a great place for the task.  If you visit one of the archives for RCSE, such as http://mail

Hi I'm contemplating getting out of the cold winter weather this year and might go to going El Centro in Imperial Ca. Does anyone know of an airport close to El Centro where I could rent a plane so as to see the countryside from the air.     Thank     Andrew

Mark was a good pilot... both R/C and full scale. I met him a couple of times and we exchanged emails a couple of times. We had very similar interests, both being glider pilots and R/C pilots. He is sorely missed. Jack Womack -- schrederman -
