We are Dieter Mahlein and Marcela Leal. Our
company ShredAir, Inc. is dedicated to radio-controlled (RC)
flight.
We started ShredAir in Oregon, USA, as suppliers of premium
RC products mostly imported from Europe. Our specialty
has been slope and electric gliders. ShredAir
has become an international company, supplying products, service, and support
to RC pilots just about anywhere. We have organized and participated in events
in the US, Germany, and Colombia. We also provide aerial photography services.
We are in Medellín, Colombia, promoting RC flying
in the Andes through fun fly gatherings, slope soaring and
electric-powered flying events. We invite national and international
pilots and their families to join us and check out our great
climate, good people, and the attractive Medellín
area. We will continue offering the aerial photography
services and our famous "opinionated free advice" regarding
performance gliders. |

Our aircraft are electric-powered gliders designed specifically to carry
a high-quality digital camera. This camera is operated from
the same transmitter as the airplane.
We take photos while the aircraft
is gliding or soaring; power
is used only to get the glider to the desired altitude and
into the appropriate airspace. This technique and very quiet
operation allow us to "loiter" over
a subject for extended time periods and to take photos from
all angles and all desired altitudes.
Photographs are provided
on computer media (direct down-load, CD, DVD), and/or as
high-quality prints. Further, we offer
computerized photo editing, if desired. |
After nine years in business, we are no longer offering
products. Please contact SoaringUSA and/or the manufacturers
for most of our products.
Please feel free to continue
asking our opinion and advice; sending an e-mail is best.
We are located in South America near Medellín, Colombia,
where we can slope and thermal soar all year, particularly
also in the "winter." Any time of the year, ShredAir
arranges safe, enjoyable, authentic, and relaxing flying
and other activities in the Colombian Andes around Medellín.
Our focus remains RC flying, but this area offers a multitude
of activities for the entire family.
