Hello all
I know a lot of us have been away or busy over the last few weeks but this weekend offers us all a chance to go and enjoy the smooth lift found over the cliffs at Newhaven.
The wind is forecast to be 14 - 23mph SSW - S which should be perfect for the cliffs.
I know a lot of you don't feel confident with the idea of flying on the cliffs but if you don't try you will never know what's it like. There are plenty of us who can land models for you or even the idea of flying the cliffs scares you just come along and watch. It's really all in the mind.
At least for me if it all goes wrong (again) I shouldn't need a cherry picker to collect my model.
Let me know if you can make it to the cliffs at Newhaven on Saturday morning?
I will confirms timings tomorrow.
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.
I've always found flying sea cliffs a butt clenching experience, especially in light conditions, so I tend to keep the model pretty close to the ridge line, just in case.
