Anyone know of a suitable flying site for us to give it a try?

M60 Dynamic Soaring (DS ing)
Yesterday we were discussing Dynamic Soaring (DS) and using the M60's and here is a video of them using a M60 to very good effect while DS ing. You need a good slope with the wind blowing down the hill (not up it as conventional slope soaring). The glider picks up speed while travelling down the hill and you use its speed and inertia to climb back up again and each lap the model picks up more speed and inertia. How it does this and why I couldn't explain but here is a link to a site that can - http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/dynamic-soaring.html
