“The Rowdy is a revolution in simplicity and efficiency,” says Hannes Papesh.…

| 6 |  On Launch With: Hans Petit
When I was younger, I used to fly a lot of radio-controlled aeroplanes. And when I was 13 I wanted to fly but I was too young for planes or gliders. I found paragliding – Jean-Baptiste Chandelier’s videos were a big influence.
