I've got a couple planes that are kind of small for the slope. Both were bought off eBay. But they are not foam planes. I like slope planes that actually look like planes <grin>. The first one is the Silhouette. It is a low wing slope racer that has a wing span of about 43 inches. I plan to install a ballast tube in the wing for the brisk trade wind we have during the spring and summer. The other plane is the Climmaxx (1.5 meter wing span). It is a fun plane to fly on the slope since it has a full flying rudder. It is a great plane when the trade wind is kind of mellow. Both planes can be built light and strong and will take any size electronics.
But I know, you want foam... Oh the JW I have is pretty good. It is not real light but it will fly respectably in light steady trade wind.

My brother went sloping this weekend with me, had a good time... Now he's ordered a Combat Wing ARF, but he was looking to build something - liked the idea of a light, light ship. Has anyone here flown the Alula? Is it a good flying plane?? Any other suggestions for something similar, a Weasel or the like? Goal is something to work light lift, should be foam . Bonus points if he gets to buy micro equipment - he likes the research as much as the building. Thanks, Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
