dynamic soaring is awesome

SleepyC · 01-06-2006, 04:50 PM

NO sloap soaring they can get them things up to like 220 mikes an hour,
they use air like a half pipe, its sick!!

Vortex · 01-06-2006, 04:52 PM

the air moving over the hill mabey

Texx · 01-06-2006, 04:56 PM

They are actually flying on the back side of the slope in the ROTOR! It's like being shot out of a slingshot! It only works at very few, unique locations with a hill that comes to a peak with a front and back side to it! It is down right amaizing! You just keep going faster and faster and faster until the plane explodes or you twitch out and crash!

Vortex · 01-06-2006, 04:58 PM

so it is like drafting in a racecar

Cajun · 01-06-2006, 05:08 PM

Sorta, but the sounds it makes when it rips around is bad -ass!

Texx · 01-06-2006, 05:11 PM

Simply TERRIFING! Like a Formula-one pylon racer with no engine!

Vortex · 01-06-2006, 05:12 PM

yea I think the hill works as a wind break
alowing it to not lose much speed on the
way up then the air hits it at the top
and accerates it more on the way down.

SleepyC · 01-06-2006, 05:21 PM

Yea i was refering to the "Pump" of a half pipe, the one part of the oval give it the juice, and it coasts through the otherside faster and faster!

I was told that those are mostly made out of carbon fiber and cost $1500 and they usually crash it the same day.

Let see. If it lasts 1min, then the flight cost is $25/sec not bad.
