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 Is. and Shamchung. We treasure very much for these
unique discipline of powerless glider flying. Please
join us now
and share this wonderful
excitement!
