Western NY Sailplane and Electric Flyers 

​

 

We are currently a club without a flying site.  The main focus of our club is radio control soaring - RC sailplanes.  We are focusing on borrowing fields and travelling to soaring events.   This is a new direction for us but we have little choice.

Sailplanes


R/C Sailplanes is how WNYSEF got its start.  We fly all kinds - Hand-Launch/DLG, 2-Meter, and Open Class.  The club used to fly primarily at the Erie Community College South Campus and we fly slope gliders off a hill in East Otto. 

​

We are currently seeking days at other clubs fields where we can fly on their hospitality a time or two each year.

​

The Flying Knights of Hamburg, NY have a couple nice fields where we have been flying primarily electic launched sailplanes, as members of that club.

Indoor


The ECC South gym has been designated as a field house for the new stadium construction and is unavailable while construction is ongoing.

​

We are pursuing other options and will post and advertise through other clubs when we are successful.
