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.

Alternative Aviation...
Not exactly to do with slope soaring, but some of you may be interested in the kind of aviation I was enjoying this afternoon...
I went and saw my old mate Gray - who has a Boeing 737 simulator cockpit in his garage!
His sim is a generic 737 cockpit, running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and allowing use of most of the functions of the real thing.
Of course, we spent nearly 3 hours just getting it going today - Gray having decided to upgrade his nav/Comms computer, lol!
However, once we got it going, we flew from Gatwick to Jersey, with the additional challenge of online Air Traffic Contol while on the ground and leaving Gatwick airspace.
All in all a very enjoyable afternoon - I hope to visit him again soon.
As I said, not exactly "on topic", so I won't clutter these pages with simming posts - by all means get in touch if you're interested.
