First time slope soaring!
Was nerve racking and exhilarating. Flying my Phoenix 2400. The wind was great, about 10 mph, not too gusty, plenty of lift. Hardly used the throttle at all. At one point I was worried about bleeding off my speed and height. Happy with my safe landing. My max flaps position is pretty aggressive and came in handy. I should of set up crow breaks too though, will do that for next time. Kept this flight short and counted it as a win, plane made it home in one piece. This was my second and last flight of the day. The first flight I clipped the only tree right in the middle of the slope and crash landed, depth perception was a little off, but the plane was fine. You can see Mt. Hood in the background, beautiful spot. So much fun.
