The\u00a0Orlando Buzzards are\u00a0a non-profit fraternal organization established for the enjoyment by its members of radio control soaring. The members participate in both\u00a0competition and sport flying of model sailplanes. Members build and fly gliders of all sizes –\u00a0ranging from as small as 24 inch wingspan to some over 16 feet across. These soaring machines are usually launched into the air with an electric winch to begin a flight. At that point the pilot\u00a0steers the airplane to\u00a0where he believes there are rising currents of air to keep his model aloft. Sometimes flights can last for over an hour and in good conditions even a beginner can keep his sailplane airborne for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
