The German paragliding scene is possibly the most sorted of any nation, with a strong federation working hard to further the sport in Germany. One initiative which has fostered many new talents over the years is the DHV Newcomer Challenge, a competition format aimed at preparing and nurturing the next generation of World Cup superstars.
Hurricane Open in Dunlap, Tennessee – it was a tale of Queens…
26. September, 2019
The Hurricane Open was, by the looks of it, a very successful event, with no less than 6 tasks in 7 days. It’s almost standard fare to see the Queen 2 on the top of the podiums these days, but this event was something special even in the annals of Queen 2 comp success; top
And finally, closer to home…

While Levico Terme is still almost home turf for the Triple Seven crew, the Applegate Open was certainly a wee bit more exotic – but we also had a comp running in our own back yard, the Naviter Open in Tolmin/Slovenia. A much more diverse field, with pilots from all over the world, “luck” still
More Queen 2 news from the comps scene
26. June, 2019
We’d only just hung up the phone after speaking to Triple Seven USA Mr. Jaro Krupa about the Applegate Open when the phone rang again, this time with Pawel Faron (Triple Seven Poland) at the other end. He was equally excited to tell us that Alexey Milko had flown his Queen 2 into 2. place
The winner takes it all…

Ever since the queens of pop (Agneta and Anni-Frid – the two A’s in ABBA) made it clear to us sometime in the seventies, ever since then we’ve all known that the winner takes it all – now the winner is a new Queen, the Queen 2!! Recent events around the world have made it
Paragliding Winter Cup 2019
8. March, 2019
The first “real” PG XC comp of the European season is the “Winter Cup” right here in our back yard. We sent our Swiss-army-knife colleague Matjaz, who flies hang gliders on a serious level, to compete in the event on a Queen 2. He was joined in the C-class by 4 other Queen 2 pilots,

In the old days the quote above, assigned to Jesus of Galilee, was often used by clerics to justify the collection of taxes. Today we’d like to use it a little more tongue-in-cheek, and say “give to the Queen (2) what is hers, and to the rest what is theirs” – it so happens that
Our Queen 2 in the Serial Cup – total domination
3. September, 2018
Last week was Serial Cup time here in Slovenia. The weather was a little more difficult than usual, and the comp was flown from our home site of Lijak, only about 20 minutes by car from the Triple Seven HQ. We sent a big Factory Team to the comp, with our entire R&D team, plus
A queen 2 review from Cross Country Magazine
23. July, 2018
Our new website allows us the possibility to include independant reviews in our glider model pages. We’ve recently done just that; added a couple of links to Cross Country reviews which we know will be of interest to pilots trying to work out what is marketing and what is fact when it comes to our
Queen 2 comp results – quite some kicking butt taking place…
23. July, 2018
The Sports Class is heavily contended in Portugal, with 36 pilots competing in the most recent Portuguese National Championships. There were all sorts of wings competing, but two stood out… Ivo Duarte won the class with a healthy margin, after 5 good tasks, on his Queen 2, and no less noteworthily Hugo Sousa came 4th
