First “big” cross country flight for the Sparrowhawk

July the 5th, jac flew his first big XC with it’s Sparrowhawk.

It was his 6th flight with the Sparrowhawk; he is still not comfortable in approach and landing, and the setting of the variometer is still not satisfying, so he flew on the conservative mode.

Late takeoff 12:50 due to a leaking inner tube valve, early conservative landing, but 344km in around 5 and a half hour (FAI triangle 310km)

On the video below, the so called “Parcours”, and the return via the Obiou mountain range, as if you were on board 🙂
