nice andrew - definitely makes me want to venture out to other slopes too. i typically just use a cliff side by the beach, but will need to start venturing out there.
@@AndrewNewton wow thanks for replying to me. Well if you’re ever stateside there’s a great place in the Carlsbad area of California called Dave’s beach. I’ve only been at it a couple months but I really want to get to bigger slopes like mt terrible
What a fascinating location. Great to see so many people enjoying the hobby of flight. Did notice someone sneaking by on your tail at 7:32. The design looks similar to the flying wing Shaka.
As a mountain biker and newbie RC pilot, this is a great video :-) Andrew, do you have comparison thoughts between the V2 and the 2400? I'm flying a Bix3 now, and looking hard at the 2400 as my 2nd plane when I am through crashing thd Bix. But the V2 seems so similar.. I'll be mostly flying fields near a 4000' mountain and learning about sailing thermals, and I'm not super interested in sports performance.
Really enjoyed the vlog Andrew, great area for sloping that's for sure!! Also loving the wind rush noises as she slowly goes over the loop and then the rushing down the other side 👏👏👍👍👍 thanks and best wishes from Alan UK 🤗🤗👍👍
Been past that spot many times, just never chucked a glider off it. I miss those sorts of places, in QLD we have a few sites like this but generally they are all on private property, or have been swallowed up by urban development. One site was 15 mins from my place but they levelled the hill and its all family estate housing now. Big hills = big lift for sure.
Ah, a real slope Andrew. I always take my Phoenix 2000 Moto Glider too, get out of jail if you need it. Safer if you don't have a high end glider...🤔😳🇬🇧...Having fun..
Not a Plane eating Eucalyptus to be found! Wow, I could handle a weekend at that perfect Hill. Wouldn't need My Sluggos either, ahahaa,,, Beauty AN, unreal.
The first thing that caught my eye this morning was your thumbnail that says "Phoenix V2 Mount Terrible"... I thought your camera must have come off in flight or something! What a great venue, perfect for gliding. I wonder what was so bad there that it ended up with that moniker?
hello Andrew I noticed you have tested the Modster Phoenix v2 and ... the Volantex Phoenix v2. Can you tell us what is the difference between those 2 similar models ? Is there quality difference for example or flight behavior ? Rgds. Mny thks.
Mount Terrible should be renamed Mount Magical. What a great place for ridge- soaring! You were lucky the eagle did not take a bite out of your Phoenix as well. 😬
Hi Andrew, just subscribed recently, great content. I’m quite new to the sport, and have a train star ascent and a Phoenix V2 as well as some balsa planes. I notice you cover or appear to cover the leading edge and other areas of your foam planes..could you do a video on what you think is the best tape to use and where to apply it..and also why it’s needed - if you think it’s worth a video ;)
I love when Andrew starts giggling because he is having so much fun.
The sudden silence at the top of the loop at 6:36 is amazing!
A momentary pause before the dive
I don't remember how I first found you but over time, your sloping videos have become some of my favorite.
Mine too.
Many thanks Chris and Dustin. I do enjoy editing up a good session.
Thats a great spot, glad you got to fly with a group.
Yes, good to meet a few YT contacts too
Naise ☺️ what a spot to fly!
love your slope videos : )

Small coastal cliffs and dunes are still my favourite but these big air sites offer a different experience.

Amazing location !!!
Nothing like that in Perth, looks amazing
It was great to meet you mate over a flying session at one of our best sites. Hopefully you have gotten to see a few more.
Special place Ben, spectacular
Great location, in spite of it being Terrible! Apparently there's a Terrible Hut there too!
Creative naming!
Beautiful sight of landscape sir, love it 👍
It really is!

That was very close, didn't see it at the time
Nice.
nice a decent slope site

2400 is not as good for thermalling in my opinion. I prefer the V2

Thanks 👍
Was waiting for this video 👍
More like Mount Envious.
Ha, yes indeed. A few km up a dirt track to get there.
Up Yet??
Yeah that's me! "Wing Wave to the Mrs"
Onya Andrew...
Mate, that place looks anything but terrible. Glad to see you had a great time.
Mount Terrific might be more accurate

This is private property but gliding has been permitted for 40 years they tell me.

That's why I prefer foam

A few poles and fences but otherwise awesome

Opposite of terrible

Rgds. Mny thks.
Modster? I dont know that one. Might just be a rebrand of the Volantex?
Actually, when you see place names like Burnt Bridge Camping Ground nearby, one can imagine that tourists might be the last people to go there!
A camping holiday you may never return from
@@AndrewNewton heehee!

We left before the eagles arrived. Would have been great to see

Thicker tape like 60 micron is best. Just to protect the leading edge from damage
😍❤👍
close call at 7.32 ;-)
Yes, didn't see it at the time
Think we've lost Andrew to un-powered flight. Heck if I had that kinda place to soar, I'd do the same.
Mt Terrible seems not so terrible for sloping. In NZ we have a Mt Difficulty and a Mt Misery, neither any good for sloping!
Ha, great names.
Didn't look so terrible to me!
Name is meant to deter tourists maybe
If a place is named Mount Terrible, you know they want to keep the place to themselves and keep the pesky tourists away.
I think you're right
