After the many great weekends slope soaring in Sussex over the last 4 weeks, this coming weekend looks to offer a repeat of last weekend fantastic flying. With good strong NNW - N winds (16 - 36mph) forecast for Saturday and lighter Northerly wind (7 - 9mph) forecast for Sunday.
I was looking at going to 'The Long Man' on Saturday but it looks like its swinging more Northerly now, so Ditchling Beacon looks to be on the cards (again). I will post again nearer the time to confirm the flying site details so clear your diaries for Saturday morning and come out and play. Maybe we could fly to the West of the car park this time and get out of the wind a little?
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.
Hi Paul, Good ideas, that Westerly flying area is far less windy, but I remember losing lift and having to go down a VERY steep cliff to recover my model - beware all.
