High-speed Dynamic Soaring

In the late 1990s, radio-controlled gliding awoke to the idea of dynamic soaring (a "discovery" largely credited to RC soaring luminary Joe Wurts). Radio controlled glider pilots perform dynamic soaring using the leeward side of ground features such as ridges.

As of May 2010, the highest reported speed for radio control dynamic soaring was 445mph (716 km/h).
