After a failed attempt in August from the base of Banadets Montauban at Olivier Marty, who had kindly allowed us, we had achieved a mean speed of 46km / h on the branch 15km round trip. We learned the same day that the record book as Michael then 36km / h had been beaten by the German crew bar was then placed at 50, KKM / h. On Thursday 28 October
2010, the luck was on our side because we had this time slot availability to set a new record. Arriving at 15:30 on the basis of Lavaur acueille by Michel Marti, President of the club ULM Saint Lieux Lavaur the weather is exceptionally clear skies and almost no wind. Again the tears, we have not yet tried the Ozone Viper28 with which we fly. 28m ² for a take-off in tandem, it does not do much! Having chosen our path option, we go into the GPS points.
Christopher makes some inflation test to familiarize themselves with the veil.
5:28 p.m., we are ready but our questions remain when taking off. We are facing a lake and a row of trees does not make things easier. The food is providential appointment and we are enjoying it.
Inflation is easy and we begin a race tonic, we need a lot of speed but the support is effective and we leave the ground before turning to the lake and away from trees to avoid adverse effects.
Time to get our bearings and altitude, we make the regulatory km before crossing the first beacon at 17h43. A flight record, it is not tourism, and we remain focused on our path and our altitude. The GPS is between 48 and 55km / h but the wind component is not favorable. We cross the point of arrival near Gaillac, it is 6:02 p.m.. The return is faster and the GPS indicates points at 77km / h. The cars on the highway as we pass seem barely faster than us. It scrolls. We are amazed at the performance of the wing and the engine is not even his max configuration détrimée accelerated. 
happy and serene We cross the point of arrival at 18:20.
