The Canterbury Eraser is supposed to be an indestructible slope soarer, made from expanded polypropylene (EPP) foam - well almost indestructible, as it turned out.
Landing on a slope and in strong winds is always fraught with danger, particularly when there are fence posts in the way.

The Eraser is fun to fly, but suits a moderate to strong breeze only. As an aviator purist, I was horrified to see the way the wings are taped to give strength and color.
