What was the most tricky thing in breaking this record?

Timing and organisation. To be at the right place at the right time, with the
right weather and an official observer. Thanks, Francoise Dieuzeide, to be there
when Jo needed to head home!

Tell us how it was to break the record. What was the most difficult? Decisive?
Unexpected?

I was confident the speed in itself could be broken. That also shows in the
margin with which it was broken, although the margin is quite a bit bigger than
I expected. The most difficult was doing everything right, respecting all the
rules. Simple things you need to do correctly for a valid record, like sending
an electronic task declaration to your NAC before the attempt.

Of course, in our sport, some luck is always involved. In this case, primarily
luck with the weather conditions. Having both a ridge which was working well, as
well as alignment of a convergence zone with the declared course, was what I
hoped for, but something I couldn’t order upfront…

Any advice to pilots, interesting notice, some share of experience that you
gained while breaking this record?

Multiple speed records are overdue. Pilots living near good flying sites can
surely watch the weather predictions and attack those records on a more regular
basis. Just make sure you read the sporting code, follow the rules, find a good
course and pull VG and the speed bar when the conditions are right.

And of course, a rather heavy pilot in a streamlined Skyline harness under a
great Moyes Litespeed RX5 Pro is the ideal candidate.
