Starfire RC EPP 48" wing from mwcores. slope soaring 80' slope, 15knots wind at Coffs Harbour Australia. Motor not used at all during this flight. Hat mounted keyring spy cam used. Undersized fins used on this session showing poor yaw stability (make do temp fins, as I lost my main set). New larger ones fitted now and yaw stability is all good again now.

* This is the 48" standard airfoil version Starfire core set from MWcores, the slope version (PW51 airfoil) would be even faster. Building one up at the moment, video and reviews to come.
@GaryVolts Not much combat around my area, little recovery opportunity from the cliffs around my area. Big Country though, there are combat groups around but not as popular as the States. To many trees and not enough slopes for the hobby to be super popular. Across from Australia, New Zealand South Island is awsome though, open slopes everywhere, that place rocks for sloping. Would love to tour there with some wings.

Great idea with the video camera. Do you guys combat gliders down there?
