Sporting successes

With victories in competition flying in the newly created "Newcomer Class" of the "Austrian. Paragliding League ”in 2007 and 2008, the foundation stone for efficient cross-country flying was laid. Robé has consistently been in the top 10 of the annual online rankings since 2012.

Other engagement

Robé is committed to the open source philosophy in the field of paragliding knowledge. The key passages and decision-making paths during the distance flights, which lasted up to 12 hours, were described through extensive follow-up of the flights. In addition, supported by 3D animations, those interested in further training could make use of the wealth of experience of the multiple WXC winner. In many paragliding videos, the highlights of the respective season were professionally prepared and used for training purposes. Especially due to the preparation of the Stoderzinken triangle , which, based on an idea by Werner Luidolt, he was the first to fly 175 km in 2013, it is now one of the best-documented paragliding FAI triangles in the world, along with the Grente FAI triangle .

All knowledge that Robé has gathered during his life as a pilot is available free of charge in his Lessons Learned compendium . This knowledge can be filtered according to requirements according to categories such as cross-country flight or competition, flight areas and weather conditions.
