Maurice Knurs flight to the new German record. // Source: DHV-XC It was a successful debut in the Brazilian lowlands: Immediately on the first tow in Brazilian Sertao Maurice Knur got a good, windy day and a good line. So he flew the 464 km with an average speed of around 45 km / h. He was on a Flow Spectra. Only a little behind flew Konrad Görg, the previous record holder. Three years ago, he came 440km (4 miles) on an EN-B (U Cruise) glider, but back in the footsteps of Quixadá's rocky hill. Now he came, also after Windenstart, on 438 km as the crow flies. So he could not beat his personal record yet. The flying season in Brazil is not over yet. Currently there are a few more teams of top pilots on site. The goal is general: on the one hand to move up into the exclusive club of the 500+ cross-country skiers, and on the other hand, in the best case even fly the first 600 with a paraglider.
