About Our Club

Victorian Association of Radio Model Soaring Inc. (VARMS) was formed in 1968 to get together aero-modellers who were interested in building and flying radio controlled gliders. Training Classes with dual controlled gliders are held typically every [second Sunday] from 10am to 1pm (except January and Total Fire Ban days).  Refer to our [calendar] for glider [training] dates.

VARMS organizes regular competitions in both Slope and Thermal Soaring, from fun-fly, scale, open competition and self launching (electric) gliders.

VARMS is affiliated with the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) The World Air Sports Federation.
