Microlight Pylon Racing

OK, so its not the Red Bull Air Race......but the recent Microlight world air games had some pylon racing. Guys flying up and down the runway inbetween blown up 'gates', bit like slalom racing in the air



the footage is pretty spectacular and makes it look and sound very dramatic. The trikes these guys are using are topless wings, which have made an appearance over the past couple of years.

What 'topless' means is that they use metal supports from the base bar to the wing instead of wires.And...they dont require wires at the top of the wing. All of the manufacturers are either releasing them or just about to.
Means they can go faster.........and its all about speed apparently ;-)
