PWC Korea: Boomerang 6 makes 1st and 2nd!

GIN test pilot, Seyong Jung, won the World Cup in Korea (Mungyeong). Second was Denis Cortella (F) also flying the GIN Boomerang 6. Seyong has been working in our factory, testing paragliders everyday with Gin Seok Song for almost 20 years. It is a great result for this very fine technical pilot. He has already achieved fine results in the past, like 7th in the 2001 World Championships and 3 times Korean champion.

I agree 7 is a lot....... In Canada the revised(may 2008) ratings were an improvement to an already OK system. The beginner rating is only an introduction to the sport and the student isnt an independant pilot, he needs to be accompanied by a…
