The Canungra Record Challenge (CRC) brings both competition and
record flying together. Set your own tasks, fly the days you like and lift your
flying standard whilst competing against your fellow pilots.





Scoring will be open for two months to allow for the best weather opportunities
and will be open to all pilots, hang glider and paraglider, with inland
