On Tuesday July 11th Russian pilot, Alexey Korobkov, set a new national distance record with an impressive 402 km flight on his Enzo 2.

In his own words:

“400+ km flight from the low hill take off was the goal I was dreaming of and, I am happy it is finally achieved. Taking off from the 35-meter training hill, fighting for height in conditions where upper-level clouds put a massive amount of shade on the ground, 100km long final glide …this was a dream which came true”

Congrats from all the team at OZONE!
