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.
We had a very pleasant session at Itford yesterday morning. Wind on the hill for most of the time and warm enough you didn't need a jacket. I was joined by a good crowd including Tony, Scott, Russell and Dick (who wants to join the club) plus Lauren who I think met Scott on a previous visit who joined us from Kent.
Tony was officially solo with him flying for all the session with no assistance or help and was doing really well plus all the walking did him lots of good. Russell brought along three lovely gliders and enjoyed the smooth lift and pleasant conditions plus went home with all three still intact. Good to see you Russell.
Poor old Scott, he got pestered and challenged by me for most of the time. Getting him to fly in all those places he was most uncomfortable to fly but all designed to sharpen up the skills and help get more control on landing. He did very well and really improved today after a long break. Well done Scott.
Dick is a local man and Itford is his local slope. He flew his Dreamflight Weasel and a very nice mouldy that I didn't get the name off. Hope to see you on the slopes again soon.
And finally a big welcome to Lauren. She has been flying since the age of 13 and from the looks of things is very handy on the sticks. You are always welcome to come and join us Lauren just keep an eye on the blog to see where we are and come along.
Thanks Tim for lending me your Phase 6. Enjoyed flying something different for a change.
Thanks for the nice write up and pictures Paul. I'll try and come out more often. For the record Dick's nice mouldy is a Voltij, and I was well impressed by its smooth manoeuvres.
