Die Argentinische Pilotin Lorena Perez flog 335 km in 5,5 Stunden!
Am Sonntag, den 10. September flog Lorena in Los Laureles, einer kleinen Stadt auf der Route 1 (Santa Fe) los, und landete in der Nähe von Cañada Rosquin (Santa Fe).
Lorena berichtet: "Unbelievable adventure! I flew with my Atom 80 engine and Ozone Roadster 3 wing. The day started with a foggy takeoff, but as time passed, it cleared up, revealing breathtaking views!
About an hour into the flight, I encountered a minor technical issue while trying to transfer fuel from my bottle. But no worries, I improvised and gradually moved fuel from extra containers into the main tank using a squeeze bulb. The journey was a bit bumpy at times, flying around 200 meters above the ground, yet my trusty wing remained rock-solid, and I didn't experience any collapses. I kept the trimmers open throughout the flight.
As the winds shifted and intensified, I gracefully navigated over picturesque fields, with potential landing spots at every turn. Then, at 5:30 PM, the engine finally stopped as I had used up every drop of fuel. I descended into a beautiful wheat field alongside a rural road. Thankfully, I had a signal, so I quickly sent my location for a ground rescue, which arrived in just 16 minutes! It was a flawless ending to an extraordinary adventure.
Overall, it was an unforgettable journey, and I couldn't be happier about how it all turned out!"
Gratulation und ein Cheers vom gesamten Ozone Team!

I had consumed 28 liters of fuel, roughly 20% more than usual. I'm now on a mission to investigate the carburetion issue that led to the increased fuel consumption.
Overall, it was an unforgettable journey, and I couldn't be happier about how it all turned out!"
