Welcome to Torrey Pines Gulls

Torrey Pines Gulls is a world-renowned organization of 100+ individuals of varying ages and backgrounds who are dedicated to remote control soaring, both for pleasure and competition.

R/C sailplanes are available in a variety of sizes and styles:

Novice kits and radios are reasonably priced and readily available at many hobby shops in the area. New TPG members have access to training sessions at the Poway field or the Torrey Pines Gliderport. Mentors with transmitters that enable coordination to a student controlling the aircraft are available to provide a fast, safe way for novices to learn how to fly with the confidence that an instructor will be there to help you recover from your mistakes without damaging the sailplane.

TPG supports a full contest schedule that spans the variety of sailplane contests typically available: Slope Racing, Hand Launch and Thermal Duration. Flying sites include our Poway Field, Encinitas Field, and the Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla.

Come to an event, contest, or training session and get yourself and your kids involved in a great hobby and a great club!
