Just joined & thought I'd better say hi.

Hey guys,

I'm from NZ but living in ACT for a few months.

Been flying for about a year now. Mainly around the Auckland area. I fly a very bashed up Foamworks Fusion and a CS Jazz 60.

Been lurking around your forum for a week or so and thought I'd better join up. Your forum has helped me out heaps with selecting a locally made plane. I'm halfway through building a Wasp from Off the Edge Sailplanes and it looks like it'll be a fantastic little plane. Really can't wait to fly it!!

Just gotta find a hill to throw it off! Does anyone know of any decent slopes in the ACT area?

Thanks,

Jordan


PS- Here are a few (bad) pics from my favourite site back in NZ (flew for about 10 min before the rain came in)-

Great, thanks for joining!

There are threads on RC Groups where guys have been discussing slopes around Canberra, I remember seeing them recently.

Stay in touch.

hey i expect thermal activity would be huge around parliament house, plenty of rising hot air there....although the stench of bullsh*t may be a little overwhelming

welcome to the site mate.

OH MY GOD! look at the slope! 'drool'

welcome!

Thanks for that.

Should be flying this Wasp next week. Just waiting on a receiver. Going to try my first profilm finish with this one. Will let you know how it goes.
