Three 200+ km flights. Six XC flights. One seriously impressive week.
David Neuböck has been making the most of every flyable day with Castroy.
In just six XC flights, he logged an incredible 1,175.76 km in total, including:
🏆 281.39 km
🏆 249.89 km (just 110 meters short of another 250!)
238.75 km
97.26 km
70.01 km
38.46 km
Two flights around the 250 km mark within a few days is already an outstanding achievement. But what makes this even more fascinating is the weather.
During the last four consecutive flying days, the Alps were experiencing a significant heatwave, bringing exceptionally strong thermals, demanding conditions and long days in the air. Rather than staying on the ground, David turned those conditions into opportunity, flying a remarkable 839.92 km in just four flights—an average of 210 km per flight.
For us, this is one of the most interesting real-world validations of Castroy. It's not just about a single record flight, but about delivering the comfort and efficiency that allow a pilot to launch day after day, stay focused for 9–11 hours, and consistently convert difficult conditions into big XC distances.
Congratulations, David. We can't wait to see where the next thermal takes you. 🔥🪂
