Perfect Day – 1/3 Swift S1 Aerobatics on the Great Orme

Posted on August 25, 2012 by slopeflyer

Enjoying and sharing the beauty of slope soaring, on a perfect day, at the Great Orme, North Wales:

Once in a while you get a perfect day on the slope, when the slope, the scenery, the model, the conditions, the company all align. This was one such day. Thanks to Simon for allowing us all to the share the beauty of his Swift S1.

Pilots Simon, Tim and Jimbo.

Tangent Vortex 5m

Posted on August 8, 2012 by slopeflyer

First time i flew my Vortex on a big slope, she flew rather fast… as you would expect from a 6.75kg lump of carbon. This was filmed on the Gower, on a windy day, with a Go Pro Hero.
