So one would say, why do paragliders need to be recycled? Apparently, the devices last only two to three years and are renewed for security reasons. The synthetic fabrics are then discarded.
Rodrigo Chapero and Lucas Desimone, designers from Baumm, saw the opportunity to do something with the material... mehr

We have been informed by the organizers of the 2009 Worlds that now that all the teams have been offered a fifth position, the fifth team pilot (in the case of the US National Team, case Zac Majors) can count as being scored for the team (the best three performances/pilots on each task are counted).
That means Bruce Kavanagh can score for the... mehr

I would like to extend my thanks to the 911 operator who relayed my location and stayed with me on the phone so I wouldn't freak out until help arrived. Also, thanks to the First Responders who took great care to not further damage my equipment while extracting me from my glider,... mehr

Also, it would be time to speak in terms of moment coefficients, not Newton meters. This would help the situation with smaller gliders as Scott, Gerolf and others already pointed out. mehr

The European hang gliding and paragliding union (how come I've never heard of these guys) is running around saying that the sky is falling and they just can't think about what to do about it in a clear and reasoned manner.

And the Flytec Race and Rally was worth 560 points (616 for Glen Volk). Six hundred NTSS points is the maximum available (except to the winner). These meets were both high points meets despite the fact that there were only twenty nine open class flex wing pilots in the Flytec Race and Rally and... mehr

The hang gliding community is strong, but locals would... mehr
