To be sure you'll have the best glider trim we want to inform about following:
Out of curiosity we thought we'd ask our UP Team Member Mitch Riley what it is that makes him so hell-bent on the Red Bull X-Alps - here's what he answered:
For upwards of 20 years pilots have been travelling to the arid Northeastern parts of Brazil to try and fly records and personal bests. Traditionally the focus has been on famous launches like Quixadá in the state of Ceará, and more recently Tacima in neighbouring Paraiba state (site of the recent World Record), but when UP Team Pilots Adi Seitz and Peter Hilger went to Brazil they set out to show the world that there are many more options for km-hungry pilots out there!
Anyone who has played with the brake length settings on their glider knows that shorter brake lines leads to sportier, more direct handling.
