Last weekend, on September 7 and 8, the nationwide meeting of UL 2024 pilots took place at the Łomża Jeziorko landing site in Poland. After the conference part, in the afternoon it was time for practical aviation activity. A gate was prepared at the landing site and anyone willing could demonstrate their piloting skills. The pilot's task was to fly through the gate marked out by foil tapes raised on poles and not to break any of the tapes.

The culmination of this event was a record attempt undertaken by Michał Tworakowski. The pilot asked for a gate 8 m wide to fly through it without breaking the tapes on his CH701 STOL with a wingspan of 8.23 m. Michał is a great pilot with a lot of experience and he had attempted a similar attempt before, but then without success. This time, after training, amidst the applause of his colleagues and spectators cheering him on, the attempt was a complete success.

Michał's record result is undoubtedly a feat on a world scale. Who will now try to beat Michał's achievement?
