Soaring on the DARK SIDE!

[aeajr]

Are you a speed junkie?

Have ever considered THE DARK SIDE of Slope Soaring, Dynamic Soaring, also called DS, where speeds can easily exceed 120 mph. :eek:

Two pictures show the contrast. One is front side slope soaring, and one is
back side slope soaring.
You need the properly shaped hill to do this.

This is the drag racing side of slope soaring! I have seen video of planes
exploding in mid air from wing and fuselage failure. :confused:

What is Dynamic Soaring?

This is the real speed rush type of flying.

I have my Dart set-up for about 70 mph speeds. The servos I am using are fine
for that, but would just give up if I tried to DS it.

Just silent gliders floating around ..... quickly!

All I can say is...... WOW :eek: but really cool :cool:

The top speed for a foamy DS glider has now exceed 200 mph. The modled planes are approaching 300.

How do they hold together at thos speeds? My car(yes, a real car) starts to come apart at about 120 mph and its designed to go that fast.

P.S. Please don't ask how I know.

Sometimes they don't hold together! Not for the faint of heart of the low of budget!

I think they have now broken 300 mph Dynamic Soaring.

Amazing what you can do without a motor. :)
