Silent Knights Soaring Society

                                                      Welcome

The Silent Knights Soaring Society (SKSS) is an AMA sanctioned club (#950) operating in White Clay Creek State Park, just north of Newark, Delaware.

​​

Our flying field is a FAA-Recognized Identification Area (FRIA).  This allows our club members and their guests to fly without the need for additional remote ID modules.

​

SKSS is an environmentally friendly club and only flies “green” aircraft – restricting operation to pure gliders and models with electric motors.

​

Although most members own the models they fly, training aircraft and instruction are available for the new RC pilot, along with as much advice as the novice can absorb.

​

SKSS members range in skill from absolute beginner to accomplished contest pilot. The club sponsors a number of “fun fly” and contest events at the field during the Spring to Fall season – and groups of members also attend fun and contest events at other locations – or just schedule a safari to experience the beauty and adventure available at a new flying location.

​

In addition to flying at the field, the club has a meeting approximately every month during the winter to plan events for the next season – and to review new designs or model building techniques – these are “hands on” demonstration sessions conducted by club members.

​

If you are interested in learning to fly RC gliders or electric airplanes you can come out to the field – or contact our Membership Chair – or attend a winter meeting.​​​​​​
