record 2008

The first French out and return 1.000 km in this class, the speed ont his course 128,7 km/h, three points distance 1187,6 km and free distance on three points 1421,3 km. 

7th gliding expedition in Patagonia
The 15m class for records is unjustifed

We demonstrate that the 15 meters class for the speed and distance records, such as those established in Patagonia, is unjustified: under such meteorological conditions, these gliders show the same performances than those of the "orchids" of 30 m wing span. Demonstration here.
