Because of the angle from which the video is shot, up until the last few seconds of the video, you will think this is a really big (like may be 1/3 or 1/2 scale) Fox model, but then at the end you realize it really is fullscale. It was a cool sensation when the optical illusion was dispelled!
Here’s the video that Mike Young and Shane Biddlecomb surely wish they could’ve entered in the 1st Annual SlopeAerobatics.com Video Contest… too bad the conditions didn’t cooperate for their entry in the contest the way they did for this video. That said, the 4th place they did get isn’t so shabby at all!
Regardless, this is a great video of Shane flying a Voltij at one of those fabulous Welsh sites… awesome.

Great news from our friends at Jivaro Models: Benoit Paysant-Le Roux (aka BPLR) has made the plans for both the 1500mm and 2300mm versions of the Madslide available for download (non-commercial use only). This is an awesome opportunity to build one of the hottest VTPR gliders around… check it out!
BIG thanks to everyone for participating and voting. We got a lot of great and interesting video footage showing off the fun that is slope aerobatics flying in a wide variety of locales from around the world. Congrats to all our contributors for their efforts!!
