This journey delivers an entirely exceptional adventure. We will ascend utilizing our 80hp Rotax engine, scaling up to one mile above sea level. Upon reaching this height, gradual power reduction will be initiated, facilitating a gentle engine cooldown. Following approximately a minute of the cooling process, the engine will be switched off entirely, transforming us into a genuine glider with a glide ratio of 24 to 1. This will afford us a serene engineless flight for around 15-20 minutes or possibly longer should we encounter some thermals. Get ready to soar alongside the birds.
