HKRCSS is registered as a non-profit organization under the Societies Ordinance of Hong Kong SAR Government. Its aim is to promote RC soaring in Hong Kong.


Frequencies
All radios shall use the legal frequencies listed in the Hong Kong Tables of Frequency Allocations issued by the Office of Communications Authority of the Government of Hong Kong SAR. The following frequencies are allocated for radio controlled model aircraft in Hong Kong. We highly recommend using 2.4GHz for easier frequency control.

35MHz : 35.150, 35.160, 35.170, 35.180, 35.190, 35.200, 35.210 and 35.220
40MHz : 40.665, 40.675, 40.685 and 40.695
72MHz : 72.010, 72.130, 72.170, 72.190, 72.210 and 72.270
2.4GHz spread spectrum.

Note on 72MHz:
72MHz is a busy channel in Hong Kong, shared with high power land mobile transceivers and sometimes could cause interference to certain model channels. We suggest avoid using 72MHz.


Teams
There are awards for teams. Each team consists of 3 competitors. The country of the members of a team need not be the same. Each competitor can only belong to one team. You do not have to fly as a team, but if you want to, please include the team name in the registration.
