Post by Bill_E »

Hello I'm Bill a long time gliding enthusiast and keen slope soarer.

I like building from scratch and have built various gliders from plans and kits over many years including a full size eagle and several PSS jobs (Jet Provost, Horton 229 and own design Vampire). A couple of years ago unexpectedly I fell for and built Chris Williams' 2m span Wolf. That was such great fun to fly that I couldn't resist building Chris's beautiful 1/5 scale Petrel.

Having been kindly introduced to the delights of aerotowing the Petrel, and just recently slope soaring it, I guess I have become a scale gliding enthusiast with all the model storage and transport challenges that involves.

And having only one glider with a tow release fitted I felt the need to start building Chris's 1/5 scale Minimoa which is on the building board now. I look forward to contributing to the forum discussions and learning from them.
