Ian's Introduction

Gidday from down under and welcome to my website (created in April 1999). My name is Ian and I've been flying gliders, powered aircraft including helicopters since the latter half of the 20th Century. For many years I flew on the Mornington Peninsula, mostly at Flinders. This area is about 1½ hours drive south of Melbourne on the eastern side of Western Port Bay, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I moved to Bass in 2000 where I now fly near the Bass Coast. This area is located on the western side of Western Port Bay and is also about 1½ drive from Melbourne.

Slope soaring aerobatics is a real passion of mine as you will soon learn when you browse through my pages. Since around 1993, I have been constantly developing rules and guidelines for the purpose of competitive slope soaring. There is information for the keen slope soaring enthusiast, which is both unique and entertaining. Enjoy your journey and feel free to download any articles which will be of benefit. Also, articles of interest would be most welcome.

What is Slope Aerobatics?

Slope aerobatics teaches you far more about flying than many of you could possibly imagine. The sort of aerobatics flying that I'm talking about goes way beyond just performing fancy manoeuvres. This untapped facet of R.C. flying has so much to offer in the way of self-discipline and motor skills development.
