Having not flown now for what seems like months I will be out flying somewhere this weekend.
The varying forecasts give different accounts of the wind direction but most agree its from the south and generally light. Not the best for slope soaring on the South Downs but could be good from the flat.
It could well be a weekend for flying DLG's and F3J / F5J (large floaty gliders with or without power).
I haven't flown at the Ashurst fields this year, so it might be a good opportunity to try these out or maybe a good time to fly up at Ashdown Forest. I will have a chat with the weather maestro (Ian A) and we will make an educated guess at what offers the best flying potential.
Anyone fancy some flying this weekend?
Haven't got anything to fly off the flat - Rob will be bringing along the club electric glider if anyone fancies a go!
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.
