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.

From one extreme to the other
Here is a great video of a old guy with just a basic 2 channel glider and dated radio gear. No slope or bungee or even a DLG launch but just a good old heave into the air from a flat field. Just goes to show what's possible......
Then we have the other end of the glider spectrum. A hi-tech 3.0m DLG which looks so light and sleek in the air. Modern materials and the latest technology. They both are very impressive.
And here is the top end of flat field flying with just an amazing demonstration of how to fly RC gliders. The control this guy has and obvious flying skills make me envious but that what makes him a World Champion I suppose. Wonder how much this glider costs?
Hope you enjoyed the video's.............
