25.01.2022 Typical view out the window today. Forecast totally blue turned into some nice cu around the start. It did go blue out around the first turn but there were wisp...s for almost all the rest of the task. We had a total brain fade today, combined with some flight computer technical issues which meant we came home 16 mins early. Ouch! For the uninformed, when you are set an AAT you must fly at least the required time, or your speed is calculated using that time, rather than your real time, so you lose a heap of speed. We were lucky we had a pretty good day, and still scored more than 900 points. Otherwise it was fun! See more

21.01.2022 I have several important updates on this competition for you regarding: 1) Two Seat Open Class: 2)20m Two Seat Class: 3) Narromine Accommodation: 1) Two Seat Open Class:... At the request of the NCC we will run a Two Seat Open Class Competition alongside the 20m Two Seat comp. This means that ANY Two Seat glider is eligible to compete in this class, we have an entry for a Kookaburra at the moment as well as a Nimbus 3 DM. This is your chance, we will only run this class if there is a minimum of 8 gliders entered and paid. Entries close on 9th February for both classes. 2) 20m Two Seat Class: We already have 8 entries for this class, so the competition WILL DEFINITELY GO AHEAD at Narromine. Conditions at Narromine so far this season have been cracking with climbs to 18.000ft AGL and several 1000k and 750k flights completed so far. 3) Narromine Accommodation: Several houses are for hire for the competition. Contact: Annette Nicholls 0407 780 955 by phone or text or by email [email protected] or Annette NICHOLLS Annette is a Narromine resident and we often work with her to find accommodation for visiting pilots but she is not directly associated with the Narromine Gliding Club and NGC receives no recompense from Annette. Please deal directly with Annette. The Peppercorn Motor Inn is once again under glider pilot friendly management. Remember the NGC does not have a lot of time to get this comp up and running but it promises to be pretty amazing conditions and we want your entries now! http://www.narromineglidingclub.com.au/NGC_ContactUs.php

17.01.2022 Well the competition flying got underway yesterday (Tuesday 19th) and what a tough day that was! Only one glider made it around the task and home, in fact it was the only glider to even make it to the second turnpoint. Great flying and congratulations to Brad Edwards and Bruce Taylor flying Brad's brand new ASG32 Mi. Looks like the Arcus M finally has some competition!
