That’s a wrap for our Accuracy Landing team! 🎯

The 39th FAI World Style & Accuracy Landing Championships has come to an end in Slovakia after a fantastic competition 👏

With a new Oceanian record for Tibor, along with the whole team pulling off an excellent round 5 (0.01, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.03), it was a successful week with strong performances, progression and valuable takeaways for the team.
