Trends 2020 part 2

Update: free.aero magazine remains free... and even better  
As we already wrote last month, despite the consequences of the Corona virus Lockdown on the paragliding and PPG-economy, everything we have published in the past and in the future will, of course, remain available for free; that’s the principle of our magazine. There will perhaps be small changes concerning the number of pages... We will, on the other hand, highlight the upsides of these major changes. Lots of pilots have rediscovered slightly onerous tasks such as DIY and improving their own equipment which costs very little to do, along with training and mental and physical preparation, which costs nothing. You will therefore, from now on, find even more content of this type in your magazine free.aero...

And we have worked on a new feature many readers asked for:

A clickable index/summary on the website.

You can even find every photo and diagram in the ---> detailed index

And here we go for the simple, but clickable summary:

 

We wish you a good reading and always happy landings

Trends 2020 part 2

free.aero magazine remains free
We are all doubly affected by the current lockdown although, obviously, we need to keep everything in proportion when compared to the dramas being played out in the hospitals. We are not just constrained to stay near our homes, but also deprived of the third dimension which, for many of us, has become a physical necessity. Feel the ground disappear beneath our feet… Soon…
In the meantime, our lives and society will have changed. The economy has been severely affected, and also therefore, in particular, the world of paragliding. Schools have lost a significant part of the season, and manufacturers have seen a massive number of orders cancelled. Obviously, this has also affected free.aero magazine. In addition, some of our readers have seen their incomes reduced. Everything we publish in the past and in the future will, of course, remain available for free; that’s the principle of our magazine. There will perhaps be small changes concerning the number of pages... We will, on the other hand, highlight the upsides of these major changes. Lots of pilots are rediscovering slightly onerous tasks such as DIY and improving their own equipment which costs very little to do, along with training and mental and physical preparation, which costs nothing. You will therefore, from now on, find even more content of this type in your magazine free.aero...
