The Hong Kong Radio Control Soaring Society

Thermal Soaring Group

Thermal soaring is the most interesting kind of soaring in full size gliders, it is challenging and full of excitements, it can bring you to the height which you never experienced before. For model glider pilots, you can also experience the same excitement of the full size pilot from thermal soaring, you can also fly every kind of aerobatics figures and very high speed gliding if you know how to deal with the energy management (changing the potential energy of you glider from height to speed).
We are a small group of model glider pilots in Hong Kong that had this exciting experience, we had successful thermal flights with our competition gliders either they are handlaunch, electric or on towed. We hold many DLG contests every year. Hong Kong's territory is small and does not have big flying fields suitable holding thermal contests. Therefore, when we hold contests we need go to remote places like Lamma Island and Shamchung. We treasure very much for these unique discipline of powerless glider flying. Please join us now and share this wonderful excitement!
