I do quite a bit of slope soaring in Wales, using 2m wide gliders. It's a lot of fun as the Kite come to check you out and fly with you sometimes. it's really a GREAT way to enjoy R/C flying. No motor (some glider have fold out props that can be handy tho) and you can fly for HOURS using just the lift from the slope, it's amazing to try to 'park' the glider alongside you and try to keep it motionless, it's as close to anti-gravity as I'll ever taste! Also, buy 3M tape, gorilla glue, and have your repair kit handy at the back of the car for the times where the wind is a little bit too fierce for your reflexes :-) If you want a bit of a taster, download "Picasim" for your phone/tablet, it's really really good for training. No affiliation, just a very nice sim for the "sport".
