Prize money for a gliding contest. Club Class Nationals...$1000 for 1st place, $500 for 2nd and so on.
Excellent stuff.
Does your glider qualify for the Club Class?
A quick look at the GNZ website shows those gliders with a handicap upto and including 98 do...so that's Discus A/B/CS, ASW 20a and b, but not c, at the top end, down to PW6's or a Twin Astir etc, at the lower end. It includes some weird ones...DG400 in 15 meter configuration (imagine the wing loading - good on a ridge day, death during a week like this week), Janus C but not CM's and so on.
Have a look...does your glider, or one of your club's gliders make the grade??? http://www.gliding.co.nz/racing/information-for-competitors-in-n
This afternoon we had a go at tidying up the turnpoint file for the the Matamata contest area. Deleted a bunch that are now in airspace that we can't use in a contest, but added a heap in the Taupo/Western Bays area. http://www.glidingmatamata.co.nz/msc/2011_club_class_turnpoints/
Guess where we are going during the Nationals...Kuratau here we come...
