Sloping in Stoughton Wisconsin Posted by Clayton Greaves on Sep 14, 2002, 01:25 These are locations we have had the privilege to fly. Some may have access restrictions. Check with local flyers for information. Wisconsin Slope Flying Sites Sand Hill Middle School- Stoughton WI submitted by Clayton Greaves Here's my slope infected son, age 3, launching my Boomerang at Sand Hill Middle School. What form!!!! The slope is approximately 50' above the cornfield with about a 30 degree grade. This site, 4 blocks from my home only works with West winds. Best success here is with lightly loaded hand launch gliders such as my 11 ounce Monarch or 10 ounce Zagi THL to my favorite 15 ounce Boomerang. Before we owned lighter ships we found this site a challenge with 20+ ounce combat Zagis- even in the strongest winds. the foreground is a huge 3/4 mile flat corn field, so the lift band, though narrow, is quite clean.  Even in the best of conditions the lift here is only fair. Combat at this site is possible but would likely be marginal compared to other venues. Directions: From Madison Take Hyway 51 ten miles south to county highway B. B is for bank- as you crest a hill and on the corner of B is.. you guessed it, a bank branch office out in the middle of hundreds of acres of corn fields.  Turn left and you will immediately see the slope a mile up the road on the right. Turn at the first Right turn, Lincoln Street. The second drive enters the school grounds, around the south side of the building and the slope site on the edge of this playground. Have fun and impress you friends side slipping you plane between the row of basketball hoops. Balsa ships "need not apply" Be sure to search for lift off the north end of the building ( visible in the photo background).. the stone surface adds thermals in warm conditions. Note that visits to this site would need to be limited to evenings and weekends so as to not interfere with school activities, kids drooling on the windows, missing class etc. The janitors have been very friendly and once lent an assist when my plane found it's way onto the roof. Where'd it go?
