New Topic for podcast

[Troutbum24]

I think it would be awesome if you guys could find someone knowledgeable about slope soaring to interview. I recently watched a video of corro (corrugated plastic) slope planes and it has really interested me in the topic. I recently flew the FT simple soarer off a slope with success for a 3 minute flight with only 7-8 mph winds. I would be interested to learn more about the dynamics of what makes a good slope.. ie wind speed, steepness of the slope, where to fly the plane on the slope, how to balance out the plane with nose weight etc. Sure I could research it all, and probably will, but it would be cool to listen to you guys talk about it while I'm at work.
Here is a video of the simple soarer flying on top of Mount Ashland (Ashland Oregon).
