Queenstown paraglider Angus Tapper set a new national record when
he flew non-stop from Coronet Peak to the Haast Pass and back to Hawea last
week.

Tapper's flight was the longest recorded cross-country flight in New Zealand but
he won't get official recognition because records are not kept for flights with
turns in them and he did not declare the flight first.

Tapper hoped to reclaim the record for the longest straight-line long distance
flight, which he held for six years from 1999 with a 130 kilometre flight from
Queenstown to the Landsborough Valley.
