Re: Looking for a slope to fly around Montreal
Bonjour Charles, I am looking for local soaring clubs but there are not any that I can find in Montreal.
Montreal looks like it has a few small mountains close to it, you may want to check those out.

Re: Looking for a slope to fly around Montreal
What is the extent of you're experience with soaring or aircraft in general?
What model of glider do you have?

Re: Looking for a slope to fly around Montreal
I flown a little some gliders when I was younger.
Presently I have helis that I like to fly with near my house.
I am not an expert but I am able to fly. I don't like acrobatics I prefer realistic style.
I plan to buy myself a 100'' ASW 28 from HK.

Hey Wamou when I flew gliders at MATS (Montéal Area Thermal Soarers) on sod fields in Coteau Station just outside of Vaudreuil pass St-Lazare . We use to go sometimes in the Eastern Townships at Mont Glenn or a montain close by. It was nice and the trail was good. Good Luck and Best Regards.
