xc on a Rigid wing

Post by ron freeman »

Nevills xc was on an Atos rigid wing which is still a great flight but much quicker than a hangglider and a lot more performance. It shows flights like this dont come that often Neville has been flying rigids for over 10yrs

It's still foot launched either way, any wing you can carry to launch then fly 307km is an achievement
If Acro was easy they'd call it Cross Country
