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.

Ashdown Forest this Sunday morning
This weekend looks good with both days offering slope soaring opportunities. Unfortunately, I can't make it out tomorrow but plan to fly on Sunday morning. The current wind direction for Sunday am is WNW - W 8 - 16mph with glorious sunshine. Myself, Rob and Jack are planning a visit to the Ashdown Forest with our floaty (big wing) gliders plus my new Alula to see if we can soar the gently slopes up at the Forest. We should get some thermals as the morning goes on and hopefully have a pleasant mornings flying.
We aim to be up at the Smugglers car park located a few hundred yards along from the large aerial (Police compound) located up on the forest) Click here for a map. Its car park 23 detailed on the map. around 10.00am this Sunday. We may have to walk along a bit from the car park to get a position in to wind. Anyway it will be a challenge if anyone fancies coming along to fly or just enjoy the fantastic views. Anyone flying must have Insurance and we need to keep a keen eye out for horses.
