1. Platz bei den Damen & 3.Platz Serienklasse

UP Team Pilotin Daria Krasnova war mit dem MERU 2 (EN/LTF D) erfolgreich bei der Piedechinche Copa 2024 und holte den 1. Platz bei den Damen & 3.Platz Serienklasse.

Sie schrieb uns: „Wir hatten sechs Aufgaben bei episch starken Bedingungen, wie ich sie in Kolumbien noch nie gesehen habe. Um 12 Uhr mittags waren wir auf 2900 m mit einer Steigrate von +6. Die Bedingungen in Piedechinche waren herausfordernd, aber unglaublich lohnend, mit perfekter Thermik, die jeden Flug zu einer Freude machte. Der MERU 2 zeigte eine außergewöhnlich gute Leistung und bot die ideale Balance aus Stabilität und Agilität. Ich kam mit den unterschiedlichen Flugbedingungen entsprechend sehr gut zurecht und fühlte mich während des gesamten Wettbewerbs absolut sicher. Die Reaktionsfreudigkeit des Schirms macht das Fliegen zum Vergnügen, besonders in den kritischen Momenten, in denen jede Entscheidung zählt. (...)“

1st Women and 3rd in Serial Class

UP Team Pilot Daria Krasnova succeeded with the MERU 2 (EN/LTF D) at the Piedechinche Copa 2024, taking 1st Women and 3rd in Serial Class.

At 12 pm we were at 2900m with a +6 climb rate. The conditions at Piedechinche were challenging, yet incredibly rewarding, with perfect thermals that made every flight a joy. The UP MERU 2 performed exceptionally well, providing the perfect balance of stability and agility. It handled the diverse flying conditions with ease, and I felt completely in control throughout the competition. The responsiveness of the glider made it a pleasure to fly, especially during those critical moments when every decision counts. (...)"
