1st Annual SlopeAerobatics.com Video Contest!

1st Annual SlopeAerobatics.com Video Contest!

I’m pleased to announce the 1st Annual SlopeAerobatics.com Video Contest!

The idea is simple: each contestant posts a short video (3 minutes or less) of their best slope aerobatics flying. Any type of plane is fine – wings, moldies, whatever. The videos will be voted for on RCGroups and the top three finishers get prizes and will have their videos featured on SlopeAerobatics.com!

Prizes, you said? Yes, Prizes–why not!!

Cool Website: Voltige & Planeur

I picked up the link to this site by François Cahour while browsing the Planet-Soaring Yahoo Group mailing list. Looks like it has some really great info on slope & glider aerobatics, it’s in French but the pictures need no translation ;)

P.S. – For those needing a translation, “voltige” = “aerobatics” and “planeur” = “glider”
