How curious you mention Bruno Vassel... I watched a number of his videos this week (and yes, @ fullscreen HD 1080 video it is mesmerizing!!). My goal was preparation for taking a new R/C model plane out for a maiden flight (a 3 meter ASW28). My hope was to glean some slope soaring tips. While I learned a lot and it helped me with my soaring, let me just say, he is highly skilled and makes it all look very easy and relaxing. Soaring 100 miles without engine power is impressive. Doing so while literally feet away from a craggy mountain slope without freaking out, and taking the time to share some of the most beautiful scenery and sky one's ever likely to see with us is a real gift. The part where he does loops to entertain some boy scout troops hiking along a mountain was joyful.
