The International Delta Swiss Championship was held in Stans near Lucerne (Central Switzerland) last weekend (May 8 – 12).

With a mind to using the event as a warm-up to the 2008 European Championship (which will be held in Greifenburg, Austria, in early June) the organisation went for quick, entertaining, and challenging tasks, with a special focus on the long, final glide. One task was cancelled due to rain.

The overall winnner in the Flexwing category was Primoz Crigar (SL, Aeros Combat), followed by Christian Ciech (IT, Icaro Laminar) and Alex Pioner (IT, Icaro Laminar). Martin Haerri was the first Swiss pilot in this class.

In the Rigid class, the overall results were 1: Jacques Bott (FR, Atos VR), 2: Thierry Parcellier (FR, Atos VR), 3: Markus Fiechter (CH, Atos VR).
