The well-known paraglider pilot Pál Takáts was in Munich not to report on his participation in this year's X-Alps, but to give a talk on acro flying. The lecture was organized by the Bodenlos board, many thanks for this. The event took place in the Wirtshaus zum Isartal. The following are excerpts from my transcript of the lecture, without any claim to completeness.
The fact that many paraglider pilots are only interested in aviation law, which is actually an important topic in aviation, only occasionally and often only to prepare for exams, should be changed, thought Hans Lang. He was with us in Munich at the bodenlos e.V. to bring the topic closer to us.
The Karwendel Triangle - the classic near Munich to fly a 100 km triangle according to FAI rules from Brauneck. I myself have tried it 3 times, but unfortunately have failed early so far. I hope, with good planning, that it will be in 2023.
The flight from the Wallberg, close to the lake Tegernseee, to Koessen is a challenge for XC beginners, or pilots like me which are new in this area. I guess the key point is to cross the Inntal valley, but I think on a good thermal day the task is manageable.
To say it straight away, the yellow angel didn't appear to me to help with a breakdown.
