Last Season
Wrap Up
(April 1st 2019 to March 31st 2020)
Big shout out to all pilots who flew and logged their flights in our biggest season to date. A total of 1923 flights, which has almost doubled in two seasons. We had 12 flights over 100km including Louis’ record breaking 196km triangle. A bunch of site records broken and from all accounts a pretty cracking season. Congratulations to Louis who has won the championship for the 2nd season in a row.
Here are a few highlights:
- A 196km FAI triangle, (Tapper, 196km, Treble Cone)
- A 124km North Island flat triangle, (Tapper, 124km, Kaimai)
- A new open distance record for Kaimai (MacDonald, 84.1km, Kaimai)
- A new open distance record for Moirs Hill (Ripley, 98.2km, Moirs Hill)
- This epic flight across the alps (Hughes-Games, 107km, Mt Murchison)
- Biggest non-triangle free-flight (Karnik, 130km, Coronet Peak)
- Twelve NZ 100km+ flights
This current season is already kicking off with a few XC flights down south and we are looking forward to an epic summer!
