I have flown at Bluff park for many years, but not recently. Have
successfully landed 4 meter scale ships as heavy as 9 pounds, and HLG's as light
as 9 ounces, and everything in betweenon the grass at the top. Big

I was flying my large scale ASW-20 at Torrey on Wednesday, and was wondering if anyone took pictures. I would sure like to have pics of my ship taken from the cliff, kind of hard to take pics and fly at the same time.

Starting on or about Feb 15, for 7 weekends there will be full scale gliders winch launching off the Torrey cliff. We will also be launching midweek if there happens to be nukin' conditions!!

from RC competition. However.switch flipping is an integral part of
aviating. The aircraft does not know what flight mode is desired at a given
