The WMSS is one of, if not the largest, RC soaring clubs in Michigan. We are an active group with training nights, club contests,
trips to slopes, regional and national contest activities, picnics, club building sessions, club aircrafts, club hats and T-Shirts,
special activity awards, records and more…

If you are interested in fun or competition our members will be glad to help. Winch launch equipment is available to
members on site and group flying and training times are available. Once a beginner pilot has soloed they can fly anytime.
 

Getting started in RC Soaring

Our group has strong background in the latest innovations in R/C soaring and sources of products and materials for soaring
and electric flying. We are an active social group as well with Christmas and New Years events and other social activities and
encourage junior flyers with special dues programs for family members and young flyers.
