OHIO VALLEY SOARING SERIES
The Ohio Valley Soaring Series (OVSS) was organized to promote radio control soaring competition (thermal duration or TD) in the Midwest part of the United States. The geographical region encompasses Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois and Iowa and we are always open to welcoming new member clubs interested in holding a weekend contest at their flying site and joining the series. The OVSS awards a Season Championship to both a Master and Sportsman level pilot who score the highest in the season’s contest schedule flying unlimited class sailplanes according to the scoring section below.
CONGRATULATIONS Jim McCarthy 1ST PLACE OVERALL FOR THE 2024 SEASON!
