I'm the President of the WSSS and just wanted to get the word out about that the
WSSS have secured the use of Mt Borah near Tamworth NSW for Site information can be found here
http://www.flymanilla.com/Home/tabid/139/Default.aspx. This will be the inaugural event and we plan on making it an annual
get together. We already have 1 huge event In January
at Camperdown in Victoria but having to wait 12 months for a get together
of slope flyers we thought we would do a little research
and came up with this site. It's actually a Parra and Hang glider site
where they do there record attempts for cross country and
they held the 2007 Parra Gliding World Championships there.
It has 4 huge launch sites covered with astro turf making the
perfect runway for scalies. So, there it is, it's open to all flyers not just Aussie ones could be that
perfect slope /family holiday in Australia for some of our
international slope brothers and sisters.
For any other information regarding the slope fest our
West Sydney Slope Soarers home page will carry updates regarding
the progress of the event.

Should I start with powered flight, or with a glider? |

Should I start with powered flight, or with a glider?
Depends on your preferences. I prefer slope planes / gliders, An electric Wing called a bee, 42" and then a 1.8 m (wingspan) called a Passer it is a good size---large enough to be easy to fly but small enough for easy transport. Beginner gliders are lighter, fly slower and are more acceptable to the non-flying community than powered planes---no noise or mess. Gliders are also cheaper (at least the trainers are) than powered planes---no fuel, batteries, starter etc. to worry about. Electric Flight is silent and clean so finds greater acceptance from neighbors etc. at the flying field, although some people feel that electrics are not robust or easy enough for beginners. There is a little more paraphernalia - you may need spare battery packs, but you can fly from smaller fields. Power (with engines that use a fuel) will let you fly longer, and your model doesn't need to be as light as with electric (so it's likely to be easier to build ) ; however, you may have to go to a field far from populated areas. |

 Radio Controlled Flying
This site is NOT to re-invent the wheel but to help newcomers to Radio Controlled Flying. The site is in its early stages of building and will grow over time with useful information and links to those that are interested in this sport and how to get into it the right way and at a level that won’t cost you a fortune and turn you away. There are many traps that new flyers can fall into. |

First Person View (FPV)The process of flying a remote controlled plane as if you were sitting in the inside your model, using a video / audio down link. Unless you are prepared to spend around $1,000.00 Plus at least for all the gear required to do it right or you are a techie and have a few of the set items then you would not be reading much more of this anyway.. forget it...don't bother you will only end up dissapointed... Thing are improving all the time and prices are coming down but without, at the very least a basic setup.. the quality will be poor.. and you may even loose your model and interest  |

Battery Care and Maintenance
What is the difference between NiCad, NiMH and Lithium Ion batteries?
Batteries in portable consumer devices such as a laptop, camcorder, cellular phone, etc., are typically made using either Nickel Cadmium (NiCad), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery cell chemistry.
