SVSS is a social organization whose purpose is to promote the enjoyment and proficiency of flying radio controlled gliders.  Our club was founded in 1989 and has more than 100 members of all ages, abilities and from all walks of life with a common interest, building and flying radio controlled gliders.  Membership is open to the general public.  The monthly club meetings are at the SMUD office complex 6201 S Street, just north of Hwy 50 between 59th & 65th Streets.  The meetings start at 7 PM on the third Thursday of the month and are open to the public.   Visitors are always welcome and encouraged to join us.  A monthly contest is held at the club field at 10:00 AM on the second Saturday of the month from March through November.  A training day, dedicated to helping new pilots master the sky, is on the same day and immediately follows the club contest.  Beginners and spectators are always welcome.  The SVSS flying field is located at the Yolo County Grasslands Regional Park, which is 3.8 miles south of I-80 on Mace Blvd in Davis.  The flying site is open every Saturday and Sunday, weather permitting.  The club has five electric winches with 750 foot winch lines and retrievers.  Due to Yolo County restrictions, modeling is restricted to sailplanes and electrics.  No gas power planes are permitted. For membership information you may contact any of the club officers.  A membership application can be downloaded from the web site and they are also available at the field.
