Our Activities

Members of the club predominantly enjoy flying “Silent Flight” model aircraft, generally known as gliders or sailplanes. Many enjoy constructing vintage gliders from traditional materials such as balsa, tissue and dope. Although today, tissue and dope is more likely substituted with durable materials such as polyester film.

Others fly modern sailplanes, generally built from kits using pre-moulded sections from materials such as Fibreglass, Carbon Fibre and Kevlar.

We have a broad range in flying interests, from Large Scale Replicas, Thermal Soarers, DLG, F3F, F5J and more, as you will discovered when you dig a little deeper within these pages.  No matter what your interest or level of skill, as long as it involves gliders/sailplanes, WSRFC can cater for you.
