Scale Gliders and other Scale planes

Scale Gliding

Held at the Milang site this discipline involves the use of a powered Model Tug plane that tows a glider built to scale of an actual glider.

These are often built from traditional building materials using plans from other modelers or drawn up from scratch. There are also a growing number of ready made scale gliders available. This is a very relaxing form of the hobby! There is no competition involved it is purely the pleasure and sometimes nostalgia to watch, up to half scale models of actual early gliders.

General Scale planes

Other members of the club build and fly scale historical planes such as this Camel and the Tugs for the Scale Giders are often Scale General Aviation work horses like Cub J3 and Chris Carpenter's new Pawnee just emerging from the workshop the August 2010.
