_http://nex12go.blogspot.com/_ (http://nex12go.blogspot.com/) Hi guys, Our own super talented camera buff and TD pilot, Tony Utley has posted a short video clip of our DS slope in Frankfort Kentucky. Its an unusual DS site in my experience because the backside is a farm field with almost no decline to it at all, but gradually drops to about 50' below the slope edge grade about a block or so back.
The zone moves from right to left and back as Slermals approach the hill and at about 2/3rds of the way into the video you can see the speed has dropped to about half what it started at, then picks back up...a big slermal will suck all the energy way from the back side and the plane will virtually come to a near stop from entering at full speed, making the pilot have to push hard to make it back out over the front edge. The plane is one of the best 'sport' DS ships I've seen around, the Pike WR Carbon. Very clean and very honest in its tracking for a Vtail..and strong too. Extremely energy efficient. The pilot? World Class DLG guy, Louisville's own, Bruce Davidson! Take a look, this DS zone is really a lot of fun for DS foamie combat, since its over a flat tall grass backside...and easy for even a newbie DS'r to work. Take a look, and thanks Tony!
