Wings Of Change Otzi Paraglider
Specs, test data and other useful information on the Wings Of Change Otzi. Like a bit of arm-chair paragliding? Among these paragliding DVDs from Amazon there's a couple that have copped a bad review, but could still be worth a look. A few are very recent, having been released in 2010.
