Event info
We will be going to the best spots around Central Otago/Canterbury and hope to get everyone flying far. While the base will be Wanaka, we are setting ourselves up to be as flexible as possible with the competition locations. Be prepared to move with the weather and pack some camping gear, just in case the venue is moved from Wanaka to chase the best locations.
It's a great way to increase your flying skills and fly with other pilots, whatever your level.
For those chasing points on the NZPRS, this will be the comp to attend. The last couple of years this competition has generated the best attendance and points of any of the regionals.
A BBQ night will be announced on the week and will be based on the best evening weather window.
Pilots are encouraged to get and use airband radios.
