Eagle Tree congratulates Giorgio Azzalin and his team on setting four pending FAI distance and high altitude flying world records! Giorgio, with his [link=http://www.noskylimit.50megs.com]The Sky Is Not the Limit [/link] project, has several other world records in his sights also.

Giorgio used the Eagle Tree [link=http://www.eagletreesystems.com/Seagull/seagull.html]Seagull Wireless Flight System [/link] to monitor engine RPM, battery pack volts, receiver volts, altitude, speed and muffler temperature on three of the four record setting flights. “Without Eagle Tree we would not be able to fine tune and test our airplanes”, says Giorgio.

We at Eagle Tree are proud to have provided some small level of assistance to Giorgio in his amazing accomplishments!
