Carter Cup 2024

Carter Cup - Final

We had a great comp. 5 tasks and the last on a 10,000ft day. The Carter Cup is partly a coaching event and it helped a few new cross country pilots. Arnold the state Coach was present and regularily gave hints and advice which was very useful.

We had poor weather for 3 days which closed the airfield due to regulations concerning flooding. Our tow plane broke an elevator. But we managed to fix everying over the 3 days of bad weather and continued unaffected.

Well done all.

Friday

We have drained the water closing the runway. Fixed the tug. And we expect good weather on Friday to Sunday. We intend to run the comp through to Sunday and have a great final day. Rob
