Slope soaring
Doesn't belong here. Bart133 (t) 02:14, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Sure does!

Delete if you so desire, but you are removing the basic description of slope soaring written for newcomers to our hobby , it remains as part of my web page so do as you feel the author SteveW
 * Merge with Gliding, but not before serious cleanup has occured. --NoPetrol 03:02, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep after Cleanup or merge with Gliding -- Chris 73 Talk 03:55, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Gliding as per above. Mgm|(talk) 11:22, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep after cleanup. Separate subject from standard thermal assisted gliding in the RC sailplanes hobby. Fprintf 13:28, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

A reasonable explanation of slope soaring from the RC perspective...it belongs where it is.


 * Cleanup, possibly Merge with Gliding. The information seems useful, but the writing style could use some serious help.  I like the sentence, Never fly behind you.  As a pilot and flight instructor, I'm always urging my students to stay ahead of the airplane; maybe this is just the ozzie way of saying the same thing?  It not even clear if the article is talking about full-sized gliders that carry one or more people, or scale models; it wasn't until I looked at the referenced site that I realized it was the latter.  As for whether to keep or merge, I could go either way.  It certainly doesn't deserve to just be deleted.  --RoySmith 00:37, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC).
 * Keep, needs definite cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 01:16, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge, in a reduced form, with Gliding. - requires extensive cleanup. Wikityke 19:29, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
