This single seat Aircraft is a Paraglider that is powered by a small engine carried on the pilots back. The pilot will be required to launch himself into the air and fly designated tasks set by a task committee. Tasks that will be flown will fall into three categories, Navigation, Economy and Close Course racing. The Navigation tasks are based on rally type, to the second time declarations with hidden markers and photo recognition elements included in the flying. No GPS assistance is allowed. The Economy tasks are determined by the longest time or distances flown with a limited amount of fuel and may include Navigation tasks. The Close Course tasks are Slalom, Precision and Spot Landing formats, and there are many varieties that can be flown. Items like the Clover Leaf, Japanese Slalom, Random Slalom & Four Sticks to mention only a few are all very spectator friendly as all the action is taken place right in front of the spectators. The South African pilots are being assisted by SA Homeloans, The Efficient Group, Dawn Wing Couriers, PIC, SAHPA, Summit TV, F&C Insurance Brokers and Radio OFM to get to the World championships this year. Two television programs will be aired once the team returns home on Kyknet and Supersport for you to see all the action.
