Almost a thousand
Tuesday, 05 July 2011
GPS was showing 967 km, when loud explosion ripped his silencer, forcing him to land. Mirosław Dyl, winner of last year XContest, owner of a Nucleon won as a prize there, was close to break a 1000 km barrier in a FAI triangle.Many days of preparation, careful planning, obtaining airspace permits, checking the weather... finally on 30th June, 2:30 AM take-off. Single-seated trike under a Nucleon, piloted by unbreakable Calaar after umpteenth hour gets a chance landing among couple of hundred of cows... Next time we will undoubtedly make it; anyway we are astounded by his will to fight!
