World Record?
Our club recently did a gliding promotion in support of the "Big Day
Up" national gliding day in New Zealand. We managed to do 155 "trial" flights with 4 twins & 2 180hp towplanes in a little over 10.5 hours. That included one hour wih only one tow plane as the other "broke" and we had to organise a backup" Yep it is a club record We think a New Zealand Record Anyone alse in the world done better than this. Flights were aero tows to 1500ft done on a fully controlled regional airport. So we had to fit in on a parallel runway to arriving and departing commercial commuter stuff!! The airport recorded its highest movement count in its history that day with 800 movements. |

World Record?
No idea, but let us know if any join up. The defunct Enstone GC in the
UK once did an open day of trial flights for the general public. 130 flights from a two drum winch with three two seaters, launches to 1500ft. If was a fund raiser. I think we had one family join the club as a result. Frank Whiteley |
