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.
Now we have access to some nice big flat fields and for those very low wind days on the hill, why not consider a DLG (Discuss Launch Glider)? You don't have to be super fit or arms like a Gorilla to fly DLG's plus they are available for right and left handed people too (like lefty Rob!). They are extremely light (around 250 - 300 grams) and you can start relatively cheap and move up as your experience grows. The Dream Flight Libelle is a good entry model. I had loads of fun with mine for a long time (until Scott got hold of it!).
Easy to launch, easy to fly and when you do contact a thermal and climb away the feeling of satisfaction is immense.
Here are a few DLG gliders you could consider: Dream Flight Libelle (my first DLG) Blaster 2 (my current DLG) Longshot 4 (Ian's DLG) Blaster 3 (Ian's DLG) FireBlade 2 (my new DLG)
There is always tuition / instruction available to fly a DLG. Help with the launching and how to find lift (we are all still learning these) but help is at hand.
