Come flying at the World's best foot launching sites 25th October – 1st November 2008

Come and start off the 2008 season with some of the best flying this side of the Moon! The picturesque Hinterland of South East QLD at this time of the year can produce the unstable conditions that saw many of last year's pilots breaking PB's and cracking the 200km milestone. 

With most of the national team and a strong International contingent expected again this year, you not only get the opportunity to learn from or compete with the 'guns' but also to compete against your peers in the Best of the Rest category.

'Best of the Rest' Category

Once again the Classic will be including the 'Best of the Rest' category for Australian pilots who are not in the top 20 on the National Ladder (current at start of competition).
