German XC Sports Class Won on a Delta 2 for Second Year

winguu para news

Last year, Uli Wiesmeier won the German XC Sports Class on his Delta 2. This year another living legend, Berni Koller, repeated this win on his Delta 2, which is a very rare event! Second place was sealed by Andi Egger on his Alpina 2.

Here is Berni’s take on the year:

Our fun to fly is all that counts!

For this year, we had in mind to go for XC flights. So we tried the triangle from the Nebelhorn. And we did it. Next time we tried the Osterfelder triangle. And I had always in mind, that a triangle is just an enjoyable triangle when it´s a closed and finished one. Maybe a bit old fashioned, but my personal most fun. Therefore I turned earlier than the rest of our group, but in the end I was the only one who came back to the point where we started from. I flew some km less, but I came back. Perfect!

In summertime, we went with Andi Egger, who is flying the Alpina 2 and became second this year, to Südtirol for a Hike & Fly adventure. Our pleasure!

Swift 4 Available in All Sizes
The Swift 4 is certified and in production in the XS, S, MS, ML, and L sizes. The new Swift 4 is based on the Rush 4, which is now a landmark design in the Sport-Intermediate Class (to maintain clarity as to which Rush the Swift evolved from, we have skipped the Swift “3″ in the series). The new Swift 4 contains all of the performance enhancing details of the Rush 4, packaged into a very light and low-volume travel / vol-biv package. For pilots who want a dependable yet highly efficient wing in this class, the Swift 4 delivers real XC capabilities, to-go!
