European Distance Record smashed on a Gradient Avax XC2

Czech pilot, Karel Vejchodsky has just flown 332.6 from Nove Sady, flying west into Germany.

'I could manage to fly very fast as very nice cloudstreets formed in first 2/3 of the distance. In the end of flight after crossing CZ/Germany borders I flew in sweet cloudless themals. The wind was not strong but conditions allowed me to push speedbar between clouds almost constantly. I am still surprised with performance of Avax XC2, great to know it is possible to fly big distances with today´s serial class gliders. I am so happy! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy'
