MSC Grand Prix 2023

Matamata, New Zealand,   March 17, 2023 – March 25, 2023

Day 1 Sunday

We were hopeful that conditions would allow a task day today.  After launching 3 gliders, we decided conditions were not suitable for a Grand Prix start because cloud base was only about 2000 ft above ground.

Some club members and competition pilots enjoyed some good recreational flying after the day was cancelled.

Better luck tomorrow!
