Peter Eicher went for a triangular cross country flight after
Christmas off from his home in Australia. The first leg made him not just dream
of a great flight: Difficult thermals, flying low, wind, a low-safe and flying
back for some kilometers because of unlandable terrain ahead. The pilot in his
Archaeopteryx was encouraged the whole time by obviously better flying
conditions further to the northeast of its route. So he fought for four hours
until he reached his first turnpoint and came into good conditions.

Finally, Peter landed after almost 9 hours and 343 km at the place of launch. He
enthusiastically said: ´On this flight I could fully taste the excellence of
Archaeopteryx by not bombing out in the slow and low flying in the beginning,
and making a good pace later on. At the end in cozy conditions I enjoyed a 50 km
long final glide home.´
