NZ Club Class National Gliding Championships Jan 2019

Taupo, New Zealand,   January 27, 2019 – February 9, 2019

Day 8

Well Folks, we have a contest on our hands. You can see the results for yourselves, but in the MSC class we have a close race for the podium places between Keith Essex, Sebastian Kawa and the duo of Willams and Schofield, and in the Club Class it's all on between Tim, Mike and Steve. Today was another tight one with some good speeds and of course some struggles, but again the weather cooperated and it was a great day's flying. I know because I was in the back seat of the Duo with Alan Belworthy, learning heaps about contest flying. Thanks Alan.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a rest day - not only because we need one, but because a cold front is forecast to be heading our way quite soon. Que sera sera.
