New Zealand R/C Soaring

09/09/2026

In a few weeks, we have F3B in the Bay!

Hopefully the weather cooperates this time. Yes, the soaring calendar still shows it as 11th-13th. We canvassed and changed the dates to 19-20 September. If there is interest, we can do something on Friday as well if there is interest. Maybe a speed cup on Friday and the usual two day contest for the weekend?

Congratulations to Gerry Carter - Gliderscore.com on his recent recognition by the FAI.
His outstanding contributions to the sport have clearly made a lasting impact, and it’s fantastic to see his dedication acknowledged at the highest level. We also proudly note that an award was formally presented to him at the RCGA AGM, a well‑deserved honour that reflects both his commitment and the respect he has earned within the community.
