How long have you been flying?
In 1999, my uncle gave me a glider from the flying school so that I could ‘have a go’. I’ve been flying ever since.
What fascinates you most about Hike&Fly races?
The mental component… No matter how well you fly or run, at the end of the day your head decides whether it was a successful day or not.
What is your most memorable flying moment?
The last time I was able to fly past home in the DolomityFly competition in 2024, even though the conditions didn’t look very promising.
Why do you fly for skywalk?
skywalk simply has the best ‘all-round package’ for me. This refers not only to the variety of wings but especially to the balance of the X-ALPS5.
HIGHLIGHTS
Dolomiti Superfly
2024: 12th place
Wanderbird Meran
2024: 1st place
Eiger-Tour
