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. Infact 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 member represent almost everyu aspect of the modeling world, we just happen to power our planes with electrons instead of wet sticky stuff. You'll see members with exceptionally powered helis, Jets, scale planes, indoor woodies, F3P foamys, gliders, and even cars and boats.
