Aberdeen & District Soarers was formed in 1978 by a group of aeromodelling and model gliding enthusiasts. Main types of flying include thermal and slope soaring, however the advances in technology has seen the introduction and increasing use of electric powered models by members.
Club members fly regularly at various local flat field sites and slopes whenever the weather is suitable. Visitors and prospective members are always welcome. We also hold a number of friendly fly-ins and competitions throughout the summer months and indoor flying meetings at Bridge of Don during the winter months. If you are interested in joining ADS or learning to fly, please contact the club secretary via the email address on the Club Info page.
Saturday 8th October was scheduled for the Limbo and Ballooon Bursting Challenge, however the wind was too strong for any menaningful competition. The Limbo was set up, at a very generous height I might add, for those that wanted to try though. Success varied!! In amongst all that Mike gave an impressive display with his Lancaster Bomber.
