Overview

Totally unique experience offered with this trip.
Take off and climb away using our 80hp Rotax engine and upon reaching 1 mile above sea level we will slowly reduce power and allow the engine to gently cool down. After about a minute of cooling we will stop the engine completely and become a proper glider with a glide ratio of 24 to 1. This should give us 15-20 minutes of silent engineless flight or more if we can find some thermals and go soaring with the birds.

What's Included

  • Pre-flight briefing and option to receive flying instruction if you would like
  • We are unable to accommodate people above 95kg

This is a truly unique experience which only a motorglider can comfortably offer.
