Slope Soaring Sussex is a friendly group of RC glider flying enthusiasts based in Sussex, UK. We slope soar at various locations on the South Downs and have a field for thermal soaring. ‘Slope Soaring Sussex’ is a BMFA affiliated RC Glider-only flying club. We fly many types of RC gliders from conventional slope soarers to Scale, DLG, F3B, F3J, F5J, PSS and more. Our aim is to encourage and promote safe, responsible and enjoyable radio controlled model flying. New and experienced flyers welcome.
Having acquired this lovely F3J glider, all 3.6+ metres, off Tim on tuesday lunch time I was raring to try it out! So come the evening a short trip to a local field I occasionally use, for a couple test glides. Perfect hardly a breath wind. Not too hard a throw, the nose dipped a little I levelled it about a foot from the ground, it just went on and on! Seemingly.Brilliant. Tried another, exactly the same so slightly nose heavy, ideal for a maiden.
Perfect conditions today lightish winds SSE, so off to Colley Hill and to to fly from Saddle Knob which is west of the usual flying area, with its better landing area.
The video shows parts of both flights and yes a few grams will be removed from the nose before next airing. Apart from a few clicks of up trim, some down was programmed in for crow.
Mega landings as usual Graham. Great video.
