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.
