According to reliable sources we can be sure that some of the big names in the acro scene change company for 2007.

Most of you know that Pal and Gabor moved to APCO Aviation right after last year’s competition season. Now their G-forces are having a rest.

Not only they will be flying with new brands but also Felix Rodriguez, who was the star pilot of U-turn, now left the Team and prepares for a great year with his new Ozone glider.

The unique Renegades Team changed company and currently they are flying with a glider called Rencal, a special reinforced edition of Skywalk's beginner wing, the Mescal.

After inventing the incredible Renegades Hang-Over maneuver, Wolf Rettenbacher and his team are now working on a new formation called Halfpipe!

Raul Rodriguez has established a World Record of turns in Infinity Tumbling, the 15th of June 2006, at Passy Plaine-Joux !

Jumping out of a helicopter at the same height as the Mont Blanc (4807 m), Raul started for an incredible descent while realising 111 Infinity Tumbling with his NIVIUK N-Gravity.

He landed at Passy Plaine at Plaine-Joux where he was welcomed by the delighted public and the mayor of Passy, who gave Raul the medallion of the city of Passy, becoming in this manner citizen of honour.
