WEIGHT-SHIFT CONTROLLED - PYLON RACE
Microlight trike pilots use the weight of their body to control their aircraft. For this task, two microlights (flown solo) take-off and fly one lap of the course laid out with inflatable pylons. This event can be held in front of the public, thus enhancing its attractiveness for spectators.

PARAMOTORS - PARALLEL PRECISION TASKS
Paramotors are a relatively new development and appear to be the simplest form of powered aviation yet invented. The pilots fly under a paraglide-type wing and "wear" a power unit on their back, consisting of a light weight engine and a propeller in a cage. All manoeuvres are possible to do in a short field in close proximity to spectators allowing the public to observe the pilots’ work at close hand.
