Fantastic to witness the enthusiasm :)
Drodzy czescy bracia,
gratuluję Wam pięknego przelotu !
Ale ale macie bardzo piękny alfabet, te wszystkie kropki i przecinki i takie tam przy łacińskich literach - to naprawdę bardzo fajne i widzę, że jesteście z tego dziedzictwa kulturowego bardzo dumni !
My też mamy trochę takich rzeczy w swoim alfabecie i dlatego Wasz przedstawiciel w naszym kraju nazywa się MAREK JÓŹWICKI !
Jak zauważyliście w literach jego nazwiska są dwie piękne kreseczki, bez nich to nie jest ten sam Pan Marek !
Jeszcze raz gratuluję pięknego przelotu i pozdrawiam z drugiej strony Karkonoszy ;-)
super
Super …… gratulujem ! 🫡
Congratulations to both of you. How many hours were you in this flight?
Hi Brian, 10 hours 24 mins.
Super! And how much fuel was left in the tanks after the record?
17 liters (4,5 gallons)
Amazing feat!
Forgive my ignorance but I see three propeller blades here but I’ve only seen the Shark with a 2 bladed propeller before. Is this a factory plane or something custom?
Thank you. It’s a fixed pitch prop. Usually our customers order adjustable ones, which have two blades. We’ve tested over 40 props and install the ones that are most efficient. When a new prop is developed with one of our suppliers, we’re always happy to test it.
Congratulations! Where can I find the regulations for the record? Thanks 🙏🏻
Hi @LeoGS400, you can find the regulations here, chapter 3.4: www.fai.org/sites/default/files/documents/s_10_2015-3.pdf
Seems like a somewhat artificial record. Risen crossed the atlantic in a 2300km leg and I think the Risen now has a stated economy range just under 3000km. With side by side seating
One thing is an official record attempt according to the FAI rules. Another thing are "unofficial records" such as this one: instagram.com/p/Cw2fu16Nbe8/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
There are many aspects according to which one can compare different aircraft. We always invite customers to do a proper test flight before making a final judgement including the feeling of space and comfort in a tandem seater.
