PAL TAKATS AT RED BULL AIR RACE in Hungary and UK
Once again this year Pal Takats was part of the RedBull Air-Race series performing paramotor displays in Hungary and England. He was using a Viper 2 powered by his new PPG partners FlyProducts and Cors-Air Motors. Pal had this to say about Budapest: “To fly in front of the parliament in the city center of my hometown was an over 10 years old dream coming true! What a special moment! Finally this event, hard authorization work, and paramotor flying it made it possible!”
