Leading up to the recent Flugtag event in Mainz, Germany Arne Krämer and his team spent 500 hours working on a modified glider and a tall launching pad that would give him additional height off the traditional 6 meter high ramp. The work paid off as they set a new Red bull Flugtag world record when his hang glider flew 226 feet. Red Bull is in the process of producing a movie about Flugtag so check back often for more details. There are several events taking place in the U.S. in 2012, check out the schedule here.
