Misha’s Big XC Flight on Rush 5 to Ft. Collins
On his 3rd flight on a new Rush 5, Misha gave it a real test over 3 hours 28 minutes covering 34.3 miles from Boulder! Climbing to 6,300′ over launch and speeding up to 40 m.p.h. he landed near the Masonville Flying site west of Ft. Collins. Here is his track log.
Good job, Misha. With flights like this you will earn your P4 quickly!

Had an exciting end to my flight yesterday as a helicopter passed right over me and I headed up wind to avoid the rotor!
