Pierrick Duvosin - part quote.

“This flight was organised last minute and allowed us to take advantage of a small weather window that produced for us the great success of beating the world records for the AX6 and AX7 category. My absolute objectives would have been too beat 4 higher categories as well with this small balloon but the weather conditions dictated otherwise. However achieving 2 records so far is part achieving the goal and I am sure that the balloon will be able to fly for an extra 10 hours under the correct conditions.
The flight was terminated with fuel still on board due to bad weather conditions of wind and rain at the end of the flight. Also the second part of the flight although at night of 11 hr was particularly warm due to the approach of a warm front weather system. This created unstable conditions which also affected the fuel consumption. But for the first flight this was a very good experience. This balloon is definitely the best performer on the market.
Thank you Josep (Ultramagic) for our magnificent collaboration that has created without doubt the balloon of the future.
