Our club was founded in 1989 and has more than 100 members of all ages, abilities and from all walks of life with a common interest, building and flying radio controlled gliders and electric powered planes.
Membership is open to the general public.
SVSS general membership meetings are held at the SVSS field. They follow the nine monthly club contest on alternate months beginning in March. If the club contest is postponed, so is the meeting.
Our meetings are open to the public and visitors are always welcome and encouraged to attend.
