Photo Comment

Only 20 years old, Willy Pelzner participated in the first Rhön glider contest in 1920 at Wasserkuppe. He won several prizes and set a new record in the hangglider class with a distance of 452m in 52 seconds. This is a replica of the lightly improved model of 1921, built by Michael Platzer.
