Anyone here do PSS models? Or know someone who does?

I've been thinking about it for a while, and am wondering where to start. Are there any particular models that make good starters?

As there are a few hills around me, it shouldn't be hard to find somewhere to go screaming around for a few hours! :D

Power Slope Soaring, or Power Slope Scale.

Something like this:

Virtually no size limit

Check out some of the larger models around like this B52

I made a Lightning F3 from an RM Green plan. I built it rather too heavily and it flies accordingly-needs a good blow.

Woah, nice!

I had my eye on (naturally) doing a Spit or similar - there's a nice Mk24 plan around someplace, too, and I still have the drawings for the Cambrian FunFighter Spitfire and Me109 lying around!
