Has anyone ever flown into Deer Valley? The base leg
is over or behind a small hill. This hill could be
perfect for slope soaring... if any idiot is dumb
enough to soar that close to an airport....
OK... so I'm turning base to final in my 421. Had to
cut it a little short as there was another twin
outside me for 25 Left. That put me right on top of
the hill. The wind was howling, almost 20 kts straight
cross. Nice day for slopin'.... The unmistakeable
outline of a flying wing foam POS flashes in front of
me. Maybe 50 ft. below me, and 30 yards in front of
me.... he was pushing hard, I believe in an effort to
get out of my way.
Do you people have any [EMAIL PROTECTED] idea how much damage
a foam wing can do to my aircraft? No... it's not just
gonna bounce off....There are real people sitting in
these full scale crafts guys! I've often complained
about these foam things trying to take out my glass
ships... now they're trying to take out real planes
too???
Sorry to take this out on the exchange... but I'm
pissed. Being a RC guy... I didn't report this guy to
the tower. But if any of you know who might be sloping
near the Deer Valley airport, could you kindly ask him
to stop? It's a dumb place to fly... There are slopes
all over that valley.
Let's use some common sense guys....
Sorry for the rant... when did I turn into my grumpy
grandfather???
