195/Paradise Club Flying Field
The Paradise Flying Field is shaping up nicely.
Along with the grass runway, we now have a smooth packed dirt runway
that works great with small wheels. See the
Paradise Field
page for directions and details.
Inland Empire Soaring Society... Now Inland Empire Quiet Flyers
Over the last few years our "Glider Club" has slowly become more modern, with members flying much more than just gliders. In fact most of the flying that we do is simply "Quiet." Brushless electric power and Lipo batteries have brought an entire new era of performance. We love the fact that we can fly for hours on end in the local park and not disturb others in the area.
Our members represent almost every aspect of the modeling world. You'll see members with exceptionally powered helis, Jets, scale planes, indoor woodies,
EPP foamies, gliders, and even cars and boats.
