SUCCESSFUL
Hang Glider Meeting and Takeoff and Landing Training at Hochplatte
After two weather-related postponements, the third attempt was finally a success:
Thanks to the great idea and organization of Skyline Flightgear & More, our takeoff and landing training was successfully held!
Under bright sunshine, we gathered at the landing site of "Wessner Hof" and began with a brief discussion of the schedule.
Despite the forecast of light west winds and the possibility of the valley wind system activating, we enjoyed perfect takeoff conditions throughout the day. The steady, pleasant wind significantly contributed to the smooth takeoffs of the participants. By the second takeoff, the pilots had gained the necessary calm and confidence—kudos to all the participants!
One particularly helpful feature was the direct transmission of video footage from the takeoffs to the landing site, where the Zodn-Air flight school professionally analyzed and evaluated the approaches and landings.
The landings at "Wessner Hof" presented some challenges due to the lively valley winds and the tricky assessment of the final approach height, but overall, they went quite well. All in all, it was a pleasant, stress-free, and highly instructive flying day!
A heartfelt thank you goes to all the helpers and to Peter Zodn for the perfect organization.
In conclusion, all that's left to say is: It was simply wonderful with all of you! 😊

REVULOTIONARY
SKYLINE | SOX | REBELLION | CARBON PLATE
The new SOX | REBELLION | Carbon Plate is an innovative solution that combines cutting-edge technology with maximum functionality.
This carbon plate stands out due to its lightweight design and enhanced stability without adding extra weight. Its intelligent construction allows the plate to be folded compactly, making it highly practical and versatile.
One of the key features is the innovative friction resistance system on the pitch lines, which allows for easy adjustment of the angle of attack. This makes the plate not only stable but also extremely flexible and adaptable. Particularly impressive is the high 60° tilt angle, achieved through the extended slider bar. This ensures maximum control and safety, especially during landings.
Another highlight is the adjustable balance system. By using interchangeable sleeves behind the slider, the balance can be customized to the user's preference. The stable positioning of the plate is maintained through the friction of the pitch line at the front plate pass-through, keeping the angle of attack steady while still allowing for easy adjustments—whether by pulling or pushing on the speed bar.
With this new SOX | REBELLION | Carbon Plate, a new level of performance and innovation has been reached, catering to those seeking the highest levels of functionality and modern technology.

HANG GLIDER HARNESSES
SKYLINE ZDR, ZD FR, ZD Speed
The ZDFR and the ZD Speed are the further development of the ZDR developed in 1998! This construction is based on a harness system, which is individually adjusted to the ergonomic shape of the body with a carbon back plate, which as a load distribution in length and width is adjusted to the ergonomic shape of the body, thus ensuring very high lying comfort. The central main suspension offers a very low air resistance and runs moveable on a so-called sliderbar! In flight it is behind the pilot's centre of gravity and provides head-heaviness, i.e. you have better handling and more power for fast flight, or you can pull the control bar or speed bar backwards without straightening up, so you can convert the force of pulling the control bar into speed and not straighten up at the same time. In addition, you can adjust the angle of attack of the pilot downwards by actuating the Kick-Ass system and you can speed even more efficiently. When landing you push your upper body upwards and the slider slides forward into landing position, you have an upright pilot angle of attack of about 45°. Unsurpassed in the whole market!
However, this construction requires a guy line from the carabiner to the front, so that the pilot does not tilt down due to the top-heavy C.G. suspension at the front! This guy line is the so-called pitch line, which can be individually adjusted with the Kick-Ass System developed by Skyline, with which the bottom can be adjusted.
The slider is held in the rearmost position by stretching the legs with the slider line, when the pilot is in a horizontal flight position no force is required, when the pilot is in a head up or upright position the slider with the main suspension has a tendency to slip forward into the landing position, to prevent this there is a sliderlock, a brake that ensures that the slider stays in the rear!
ZDR and ZDFR: both models are equipped with a so-called tube rescue container positioned above the thighs. This makes this construction very slim, but there is only little storage space available!
ZD SPEED: due to many requests for the use of 2 rescue systems the Speed was developed. With this model it is possible to equip one or two rescue systems! The rescues are laterally integrated and aerodynamically optimized by a spatially cut outer skin! You can integrate a corresponding storage pocket on the opposite side of the rescue if you only want one rescue! The rescues are packed longer, so that the overall height becomes slimmer and the harness does not become so wide! There is a packing length of the rescues of 38cm, 46cm and an extra long packing length of 53cm. The ZD Speed has a much larger storage space, as there is a hollow space behind the rescues, which should always be filled, so that the harness is better positioned to the rear! There is also a long internal back pocket, without the tube container this results in a much longer packing volume, because the rescue or rescues are integrated on the outside!
With both models, ZDFR and ZD Speed, only modern rescues with little packing volume can be used. Information on request!
Lightweight construction
Due to R&D in terms of weight reduction, we were able to achieve a weight reduction of up to 3 KG by using Dyneema webbing, lighter Cordura and Nylon fabrics, Carbon etc.!
Skyline ZD Speed
Hang glider harness system
Skyline Zero Drag Speed (ZD SPEED)
This model can be equipped with one or two rescue systems, which are integrated on the side. If only one rescue system is used, a stowage bag can be inserted on the opposite side. In addition, the rescues are packed longer, resulting in a flatter packing size and storage space behind the rescues.
Skyline ZD Sox

SKYLINE ZD SOX
(Moyes Matrix carbon plate)
In cooperation with Tom Weissenberger (multiple world record holder) a new harness system was developed, which only had to be slightly modified from the existing Skyline ZD Speed. At the front and rear of the plate end, pockets were sewn in for the 2-part carbon back plate, which is connected to cardan joints and can thus be moved, and which can adapt to the body angle of the pilot, so to speak.
Skyline UL-Tow-Release
NEW
The Skyline UL-Tow-Release is made of 20mm wide webbing and suitable for UL towing! Triggering when pulling the split pin requires only half the force that is deflected by the pull rope! It is based on the principle of a separation system for parachutists and has been the standard for many years! 2 loops made of a high-strength braided Dyneema line, one short and the second correspondingly longer, looped into each other via an eyelet that goes through the webbing and is fixed with a stainless steel pin.
To release it, pull the pin... more ...
Skyline Drogue Parachute
NEW Drogue Parachute Generation
Conventional drogue parachutes are mostly made according to the original design with very short, sometimes unsuitable safety lines and with a middle line! This leads to unreliable opening or incorrect behavior due to tangling of the lines during the opening process.
In the following a description of a new brake parachute generation!
ABOUT
Skyline stands for freedom and action as well as safety, comfort, quality and functionality. For all those who seek perfection and have made the sport of free flying a part of their lives.
Unlimited freedom. Being at one with Nature - with the wind and water, the sun and snow. That´s what it´s all about.
We know what we´re saying when we tell you there is nothing quite like flying. And we know what we´re doing when we develop harnesses, canopies and accessories. We are doing it for the sport. For pilots. For ourselves. For you!
It all began with a holiday in Hawaii, which was originally intended for surfing and hang gliding. There was not only "one size fits all" equipment for surfers but a huge selection of highly functional equipment for various purposes, all compatible with each other and impressive design. Fascinated by this, Wolfi Genghammer returned to Germany to perfect harness systems for hang-gliders and accessories.
Custom-made products are our strength. Custom made performance! Our work involves developing creative solutions for you or we implement predefined plans on your request.
Not only the basic ideas are crucial for the quality of a product, but above all the individual detailed solutions. We spend a lot of time developing various technologies in detail. It is often these details that improve functionality, safety or the visual appearance and thus the quality of a product. These detailed solutions often distinguish our products from those of the competition and SKYLINE has often been the pioneer for many solutions that have become standard.
ABOUT
Skyline steht sowohl für Freiheit und Action, als auch für Sicherheit, Komfort, Qualität und Funktionalität. Für alle, die Perfektion suchen und den Sport des Freien Fliegens zu einem Teil ihres Lebens gemacht haben.
Unbegrenzte Freiheit. Eins sein mit der Natur - mit Wind und Wasser, Sonne und Schnee. Das ist es, worum es geht. Wir wissen, was wir sagen, wenn wir Ihnen sagen, dass es nichts Schöneres als Fliegen gibt. Und wir wissen, was wir tun, wenn wir Gurte, Rettungen und Zubehör entwickeln. Wir machen es für den Sport. Für Piloten. Für uns. Für dich!
Alles fing mit einem Urlaub auf Hawaii an, welcher ursprünglich zum Surfen und Drachenfliegen gedacht war. Dort gab es nicht nur „Einheits-Ausrüstung“ für Surfer sondern eine Riesenauswahl an hochfunktionellem Equipment für verschiedenste Einsatzzwecke, alles untereinander kompatibel und beeindruckendes Design. Fasziniert davon macht sich Wolfi Genghammer zurück in Deutschland daran, Gurtsysteme für Drachenflieger und Zubehör zu perfektionieren.
Sonderanfertigungen sind unsere Stärke. Custom made power!
Dabei entwickeln wir für Dich oder wir setzen auf Wunsch vorgegebene Pläne um.
Für die Qualität eines Produktes sind nicht nur die Grundideen ausschlaggebend, sondern vor allem auch die einzelnen Detaillösungen. Wir verwenden sehr viel Zeit zur Entwicklung verschiedenster Technologien im Detail.
Diese Details sind es oft, die Funktionalität, Sicherheit oder auch das optische Erscheinungsbild und damit die Qualität eines Produktes verbessern.
Diese Detaillösungen unterscheiden unsere Produkte oft von denen der Mitbewerber und oft schon war SKYLINE der Vorreiter für viele Lösungen, die mittlerweile zum Standard gehören....
