Here's an interesting site for you guys to have a look at. Its called 'Spot the gliders' and gives live positioning plus height, ground speed, vertical speed and glider type etc. Obviously not many gliders flying at night and on a winters day but take a look when we get a Northerly wind and watch live the gliders running along the ridge plus zoom out and see what gliders are flying around the wold. Modern technology eh!

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 a great site - just watching gliders over the Andes in S. America !!!
