Stefan was the winner of Dachau contest with 383,8km/h maximum speed and 365km/h average in both directions.
A small flight video you can find here.
This is Stefans winner cup of Osnabru"ck 2008 speed contest.
The average speed in both directions was 394km/h.
The next contest will be at the end of September: the German Masters F3S in Neumagen.
All conditions are fulfilled to get a new official speed record there.
May be it is Stefan or may be one of his concurrents - but it seems, more than 400km/h will be needed to win this contest!
This is a view on the onboard speed sensor used in training.
And this ist the best speed log, made in training.
