South Cotswold Soaring Society

South Gloucestershire's radio-control model gliding club, with access to four slopes covering virtually 360 degrees of wind. Club website: scsa.org.uk

Who are we?

A group of around 75 club members who fly radio-control gliders in the south-west of England.

What do we fly?

All types of R/C gliders, from basic balsa models to fully moulded Calypso-type models. The most popular models at the moment are the EPP flying wings such as the Zagi or the Wild Thing. These are fairly cheap, indestructible foam models and great fun to fly.

Where do we fly?

See the flying sites page for details.

When do we fly?

Any time it's not raining! Most flying happens at weekends, with Sunday morning the most popular.

The club also meets on the third Wednesday of every month at The Bear of Rodborough: 8pm in winter, 9pm in summer. No flying permitted in the bar!

Why do we fly?

If you've ever flown a radio-control plane, you'll already know the answer. If you haven't, give it a go, and then you'll know as well.
