Disabled category in paraglider competition

Discipline

PG and HG XC

What do we want ?

I am a disabled pg pilot and have enjoyed some success in standard competitions. However, I do experience some difficulties in this discipline due to my disability and would like to have a disabled category considered and recognised.

How do we achieve that ?

Good question , which I need to consider and discuss with other like minded pilots .
Work in progress ….

Hi Craig, this topic is seeking solution in France too. I believe an international competitive meeting could be considered. Another blank spot.

There have been such disscussion around 10 years ago at international scene. Can give a short overview... Maybe we can have some zoom to definied the "message"?
