I am in touch with the South African organiser of the hang gliding expedition which includes a group of German pilots.
Unfortunately these hang gliding records do not have the paper work in place so they will remain unofficial. Such a pity. South Africa is cooking! These are the tracklogs I have varified on the XC - DHV website Toni Raumauf tracklog 527kms Gunter Tschurnig's Tracklog 424.2kms Stefan Eylert's tracklog 336.3kms Congratulations on some awesome flying!!! The World Record is:
Straight distance : 700.6 km Date of flight: 17/07/2001
Pilot: Manfred RUHMER (Austria)
Course/place: Zapata, TX (USA) FAI Website for World records |
