We have a 100 acre field at 1197 Nine Mile Rd Milang where we fly. We hold regular monthly meetings. Southern Soaring League Members fly at the Milang field on most Sundays, dependent on weather, and welcome interested people, and people interested in learning to fly Radio Controlled gliders. They also fly at the field on other days, again dependent on weather conditions. A large variety of glider
s are flown by members, from simple 2 channel, 2m wingspan electric launched gliders, to larger 4m 6 channel gliders with the control system of a full size glider. These gliders are launched either with an onboard electric motor, or by catapulting them with a powerful winch. Also flown are Scale (or replica) gliders of full size gliders. These are launched in a similar manner to full size gliders, using powerful motorised tug planes. New members are taught to fly if necessary, and have full access to the field and the facilities at the field, plus the wealth of knowledge and support of existing members. Membership fees include a Club component, and a component that is paid to the Australian umbrella organisation, the MAAA ,which includes insurance coverage and is a necessary component of membership. As well as General sport flying at the field,members compete in Club competitions, as well as interstate, National, and International events. New members of all ages are welcome at the Southern Soaring League.
