STRAPPED IN TIGHT
FROM THE PRESIDENT – MORRIS TULL
Hi everyone and welcome to the 25/26 season. We have just had our National Aerobatic Championships and held the AGM during that event.
Myself and all the committee were re-elected and we conned Gill Phillips into joining us on the committee, thank you team and we all look forward to organizing and joining you in many aerobatic themed events and competitions.
With the completion of the nationals, that signals the end of the use of 2025 sequences. Grant Benns will take the 2025 IAC sequences and turn them into ours and get them up on the website. The 2025 CIVA free known figures will be used from now to build your own sequences for intermediate and up. The Primary and Recreational sequences don’t change from year to year but we may tweak the known II and Known III. This gives you all 12 months to practice them so no excuses. (more…)
