Great new forum. :D

Years ago (5-7) there was a web page for an RC slope gyro glider(?). Any one remember this or even think this concept would work?

I would think that on a big slope with alot of wind (lift) a heavy loaded gyro would be able to keep enough momentem to keep flying. Or maybe not :rolleyes:
