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 met with John and we trudged up to the top of Itford Hill. The wind wasn't the strongest but It gave us an opportunity to try out our Wisel gliders.
Mine still didn't fly right but it was flyable. PS..... don't try and catch a balsa built up wing model as it wont end well. I broke one of the ribs. This will mean cutting the film and repairing the broken bits then recovering the wing. John maidened his Wisel and after just a little trimming it flew very well.
Then we were joined by Robin so that made 3 of us on the hillside.
Robin flew his sleek mouldy glider with plenty of landings being practised. I said I wouldn't mention his dodgy landing the other side of the fence (opps!) sorry Robin...…...
I practised many landings with my trusted Phase 6.
After two hours I was having trouble feeling my fingers so myself and John decided to head down to the cars. On the way down we bumped into Rob P, James and I assume Mrs Powell.
