RC Slope Soaring in Hong Kong

Where do you ususally go to buy your EP Glider? I've got a budget under $1000. Which model will you suggest for a new learner? Please help~~~~~

Dear vh563,

I have a used 'Sky Walker', it is an EP Glider. If you do not mind an 'experienced' model aircraft, I am prepared to release her at a bargain price. I think it is good for beginner.

Photograph of the model can be refer to at the F3F 60" round one held on 5/2/2006 at Ma On Shan.

Hi Philip,
I would like to have a look but don't know how to find out the photo. Would you please post the link here?

Dear vh563,

Are you a member of The Hong Kong Radio Control Soaring Society ?

If not, as a beginner, I suggest you to join the Soaring Society so that you can learn from the friendly Masters.

The 'Sky Walker' is the one with white colour fuselage and purple colour wing tips, i.e. the one not qualified for the 60" F3F !

The link is as follows : http://hkrcss.org/F3F_60in_205-06.html

Hi Vh563,

If you are not yet being a member of HKRCSS. All the masters at the flying site would be more than happy to tell you the basic technic because all the HKRCSS members are so friendly.

DON'T BE SHINE

Thanks Philip and Henry for your information. Philip, having seen your sky walker, will be interested to know what price you would offer for it. I think it's outlook is quite attractive.
And would you please tell me where you usually go to buy a EP Glider. Actually, I would like to have a look and talk to the seller about the differences of the products. Help please.

Dear Henry,

I am not trying to pull your leg. Do you mean 'SHY' instead of 'SHINE' ?

Philip Shum

Dear Philip,

Yes, what I mean is "SHY".

Sometimes I pick up the pen, forget the word.
Anyway, thanks for reminding me.

Henry

Thank your very much for your infm., Henry. I'll try to get there and have a look.
