1-26 1000km -FAIL

[Sprunga]

Hi,

When the 1-26 was released I suggested to OXO that I could try a 500km flight. That's when I found out, from OXO, that a dude in the states completed a 1000km in the 26. So since Corona is here I thought I would have a go. I didn't want to make it too easy but I ended up making the task and weather too hard and I stuffed up in the mountains as per usual!! I ended up flying 635km before I found the ground. I was flying too slowly to complete the 1000km anyhow.

As I love the Tin Can, I accept the challenge, but not on your ground (I just hate those treetop shaving flights )

I guess I can adapt one of my wave flights. More in the coming days...

And then 300km in the SG38?

And then 300km in the SG38?

Woah that would truly be an achievement!

And then 300km in the SG38?

Woah that would truly be an achievement!

If it's not done flying back and forth 3 times on a 50km ridge

You've got to love this gliders construction.

Here's a manic flight I completed on AA2 which took all day to fly to Bex.
Also a great way to boost your points ranking.

That's a long flight in that thing! Did you use ridge lift mostly?

[JeffSmith]

Hi Sprunga, yes it was mostly, with a few nerve wracking ridge/gap crosses.
Towards the end of the day was really tough as the lift gets weaker.
It was a case of lets see how far I can get.
Cheers Jeff
