We have been waiting for a long time. With its first flight in the
new OLC season 2015, Marlies Eicher in Australia has cracked the magical 500 km
mark. Marlies in the Archaeopteryx started as always on their home site, Yando
airfield. 09:01 hours put it in the target flight 552.52 km back and reached a
speed of 61.95 km/h.

The launch of the Archaeopteryx was Yando airfield in the morning at 10:05 LT,
the landing took place in the evening at 19:06. The closer examination of the
saw tooth barograms is interesting, because in the climbing stages, the barogram
shows mainly speeds between 50-70 km/h, whereas the forward flight speed 110
km/h at 90. The route chosen by Marlies went very straight forward towards the
North East…
