We finally have succeeded to create the ideal infrastructure for long XC-flights in the Northeast of Brazil. Forget about the horror scenarios which you can watch in youtube videos where pilots get launched from a hill in howling winds and into murder thermals. This only is happening when you take-off from a mountain into wind which is compressed in between the terrain and the low inversion.

Another NEW for 2020
In order to keep the quality of the flight event higher, we decided to limit the number of participants to 11 pilots.

We launch in the flatlands, from a 800m wide dry river bed with 3 state of the art towout winches. We can tow every pilot up to 1000m agl. The 3km long tow-strips allow us to tow you up smoothly and relaxed without unnecessary stress for the pilot and the wing. On short tow strips you have to tow more agressively with much more tension on the tow line and this is not only nice for your wing but also creates stress for the pilot.

We can operate with all four winches parallel and simultaneously and tow up a team of 3 pilots at the same time so that they can fly together and find the thermals together. Flying across flatlands is different to flying in the mountains, you have to adapt and develop your own sense to find the right thermal triggers. But these thermals are wider and surprisingly soft and no comparison to the rough and rocking thermals in the Alps. The wind does not disrupt the thermals, the opposite is the case and you can fly far, many kilometers. Pilots who rarely flew more than 50 km in the Alps flew with us in Brazil their first 100km flight and much further. We also had record hunters in our group. This gives you the chance to fly with the best pilots of the World and to learn from them.
