LEAGUE OF SILENT FLIGHT
P.O. Box 39068
Chicago, Illinois 60639 USA
Hello...
You're in good company if you're curious about the LSF. Many are these days. The LSF is attracting the
attention and interest of R/C sailplane enthusiasts throughout the world.
The League of Silent Flight is an association of and for the individual sportsman. It is not a club... it is a
program ... and participation neither conflicts with nor requires club membership. However, many clubs
find that group participation in the LSF can excite new interest and bring new growth.
Membership can only be earned. Membership cannot be bought... there are no membership dues or
fees. To become a member, an R/C sportsman must fulfill the requirements of Level I of the LSF Soaring
Accomplishments Program: a 5 minute thermal flight; a 15 minute slope flight or a second 5 minute
thermal flight; and five spot landings within 3 meters (9.84 feet) of a target point.
Advanced levels in the program are progressively more challenging. Level V, for example, requires a 2
hour thermal flight, an 8 hour slope flight, a 10 km (6.21 mile) goal and return flight, as well as
considerable success in soaring competition.
Members (sportsmen who have achieved Level I or higher) are privileged to display the distinctive LSF
insignia. The LSF emblem on a jacket or sailplane is a symbol of proven performance. It is displayed with
pride... and recognized... anywhere in the world.
The LSF is a personal challenge, and serious sportsmen are invited to associate with the League. The first
step? Declare your intent.
