NEW PARAMOTOR WORLD RECORD
American paramotor pilot David R. Rogers has recently had his World Record for Distance in Closed Circuit with Limited Fuel ratified by the FAI. David set the record flying an APCO Thrust in Florida in November 2006, and has now completed the form filling to get the record accepted. With the record finally ratified David was able to collect his prize cheque from APCO who are offering rewards for any pilots breaking world records using their wings. David is said to be happy that his record shows what an average pilot can achieve with some hard work.
