Desc

The crosswind at the takeoff was tricky, I was very lucky with low save in the leeside of the hill. The flight was very nice and Aspen4 flew like comp machine. This is my new personal best :) It seems its possible to fly over 300km anywhere in NE Brazil. This is amazing part of the world. OBRIGADO!!

    It seems that you have been much luckier than us with the weather and this new wing looks great! I suppose that Gradient will sell a lot of Aspen4 after your performance in Brazil! Congrats!

    Nevyráží Vám po tělech brka? Evropu už zase straší s ptačí chřipkou tak, aby Vás vůbec pustili domů. Jinak pro holky do Budkova už teď nestíháme vyřezávat nápisy ;-)

    Pěkněs do toho šlápnul. Tak ještě aspoň dva kvalitní lety v Alpách... No, nebudu předbíhat.

    Ale na příští rok už taky začínám šetřit na letenku :-)
