| On Febr. 29th Jim Payne and Dennis Tito were able to perform a great flight over more than 1.800km (>1.120 miles!) with a DG-1001M in the wave of California's Sierra. The average speed of 168 km/h (104 mph) impressively shows the DG-1001M's potential. Since the Wave Season in Argentina is over now, this ambitious group around Dennis Tito wants to continue hunting long distances in America. We wish lots of success and great flights in future! Here you can have a look on their flight. as well as: http://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-2.0/segelflugszene/cmsnews.html?month=032012&news=526#526 |
