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.
That's funny Paul, we had a guy use the field at the other club last weekend to take off from with his powered paraglider. Nice bit of kit, about 8k all up, 25mph top speed about 100 miles range. I want one!!!
No, Will. Full sized Paragliders. You dont get to jump off the top of the hill at first. You start at the bottom and progress from there. I was suggesting a tatser day. Try it and see....type of thing.
Dune gooning - need add that to my bucket list!
ReplyDeleteWill / Scott, how about doing a Paragliding taster day with me?

ReplyDeleteWowza! Sounds fun! Will probably stick to unmanned flight for the time being :-) Can't wait to see your rc paraglider in action sometime tho!
