HKRCSS Open Day and Slope Combat
20 November, 2005 |

|
The Hong Kong Radio Control Soaring Society organized an open day
and slope combat in Clearwater Bay
north-facing slope on
Sunday 20 November, 2005.
The combat event was organized as a demonstration in the open day to
attract new comers to this hobby. Although the number of newcomers is
disappointingly small, the club managed to arrange a guided training
session for each of the interested pilots and finally, after the
training, 3 new pilots decided to join the club showing their interest
further in r/c sailplane flying.
It was the first ever slope combat held in the
north-facing slope of Clearwater Bay. We all know that the nasty wind
condition in the north slope. The wind speed can be high in a second but
virtually nil in another second! The hard work in recovering planes in
the dense bushes of this slope is all we want to avoid. Still, a total
of 9 combat pilots gather here to fight for their faith in winning the
title -brave guys! Finally, Eric took the title with a convincing large
umber of hits, congratulation! HKRCSS would
like to thank the sponsor, Windrider Aviation Co. Ltd. for
their generous supports. The event would not be a success without the
tireless hard work of the committee members of HKRCSS and other
volunteer helpers. Cheers!
