On November 5, 2017 our Austrian customer Ludwig Starkl flew a predeclared FAI-triangle over 1000 km (onlinecontest.org) with his Antares 23E, launching form Kiripotib in Namibia. He was able to fly a fantastic average speed of 165 km/h, which represents a new Austrian as well as a Namibian record. Both record claims have been submitted to FAI for approval.

Several pilots participating in the „Flying with the Champions“-program also took advantage of the great soaring conditions that day and completed the same task.

Lange Aviation GmbH congratulates Ludwig on his great achievement!
