Acro Worldcup 2010 "Zell am See" Austria

July 28, 2010 |At the beginning of the Acro Worldcup Season 2010 the 45 best pilots from over 15 nations met up to measure their skills in the Acro Solo event. This event was thelocal Austrian championships in Acro at the same time. Right from the beginning Xandi Meschuh was at the front with his Nikita and managed to keep up with the fierce competition of the Spanish, French, Argentinian and Hungarian pilots. Because of changeable weather conditions and not enough height over water Xandi didn't manage to climb up the winning podest this time. He finished in 6th place.

At the Austrian sate competition though Xandi managed to hold up the winning pokal four times! Congratulation for this achievement!

ICARO paragliders 1st and 3rd place in the German OLC

July 1, 2010 | One TOP flight after the other. Werner Schütz - 1st place and Uli Strasser 3rd in the German OLC. Here you can find the comment of Werner after the heavy flights in Switzerland: "Hello Wolfgang, Uli and I made our last flights in Fiesch and we were very successful (nearly 750km and 40 flying hours in the first 4 days). We are sure that this is not possible with every glider but with our Mavericks - no problem. Maverick not only is perfect in performance - it is really top in security. I only want say to you - thank you for Maverick!".
