Hi Ron,
You going mad looking out at the rain like me!
The certificates are for powered fixed wing and helicopter models with not a single line of the code of safe conduct or flying manoeuvre appropriate for slope flight. This could not be forced upon slope fliers :wink:
The simple fact of the matter is that anybody who can get more than one flight out of a slope model is by my yardstick far superior in flying skills than a fresh green A certified flying club pilot. I have been one, am not far removed from one and have been in the company of many :oops:

Don't know if anybody will read this...
But you mist the last Club meeting Ron...
there was talk about how every one in the club should have at least a A cert or be aiming for one...
Now this is all very well if you fly power ( Nitro/Elec)
I fly powered gliders so only use the motor to gain hight...
Most of the time ( if the wind is right ) I'm down the Old Head Slopeing...
I don't want to fly power...
