Just received a mail from Pål Hammar Rognøy, that the official Acro World Cup events are (last year called World Tour):

Acrofolies (May 25th - 28th)
Vertigo-Voss (Jun 28th - July 1st)
Acroaria (August 10th - 13th)
Tropheo Adrenalina (September 6th - 10th)

I'm looking for pilots who could help to translate the descriptions of the acro maneuvres to any further languages!

Please if you feel the pleasure to do this, don't hesitate to contact us

Many thanks in advance!

End of last year our acro team wished to get an extreme dynamic but nevertheless controllable glider made especially for acro. And of course - they didn't want to abstain from performance of the CIDAN - the glider they used successfully for acro till today. So the first prototypes of NIKITA were designed all-out for pure performance and dynamic. We improved them step by step in systematic team work to make them controllable. The result is an extreme dynamic acro glider which remains manageable for good acro pilots also in extreme flight situations.

The website of Acrofolies was re-designed (again) and it is now possible to register for the competition!

Like last year, it will be the first event of the World Aerobatics Tour with solo and synchro category as well.
