"Last weekend, on September 7 and 8, the national meeting of light sport aircraft 2024 took place at the Łomża Jeziorko landing site in Poland. After the conference, in the afternoon, it was time for practical flying activities. A gate was prepared on the landing site and anyone willing could demonstrate their piloting skills to fly "in the box". The pilot's task was to fly through the gate marked out by tape raised on poles and not to break any of the tapes when flying between and below the tape.
"The finale of this event was a record attempt undertaken by Michał Tworakowski. The pilot asked for a gate 8 m wide (26.25 feet) to fly through it without breaking the tapes on his STOL CH 701 with a wingspan of 8.23 m. (27 feet)! Michał is a great pilot with a lot of experience and he had attempted a similar attempt before, but without success before this time.
"This time, after training, and amidst the applause of his colleagues and spectators cheering him on, the attempt was a resounding success.
"Michał's record is undoubtedly a feat on a world scale: flying through an 8 m wide (26.25 feet) box without breaking the tapes on his STOL CH 701 with a wingspan of 8.23 m. (27 feet)!"
