28.07.10 |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!
