Guido Gehrmann, who is increasingly involved in aerobatics with his hang glider, will fly an Icaro Laminar Z9 this season. He flew Icaro in 2006 at the first aerobatic championships in Villeneuve, Switzerland, when he finished second.

His goal is to win the next World Championships which will be held in August in Voss, Norway. He said of his choice: “When you play hard, nothing can be left to chance”.
