Spinny wizzy day

What a gorgeous day in the field playing with the power units. Ben F back down from Swindon came along to finish off his Powered hang Gliding rating which he did in fine style. After a couple of "warm up" flights he disappeared for an hour and 20 minutes on his 30k XC flight taking in some lovely sites as he flew over Portreath, Carn Brea, Stithians, Praa Sands before heading back to the North Coast. He then topped it of with a final flight taking in both coasts again before landing back at the field in nil wind, well done Ben.

Pete L was out having fun on his unit although technical difficulties did interfere with his day. Paul H on the other hand got to try out the new school unit (Fly Products Power 115) which performed faultlessly and after mastering the basics of running around the field with it on his back was soon set up for his first flight. Five cracking flights later with not one aborted launch he was smiling from ear to ear, not bad for his first day on one.

Nice to have Richard W drop in on his Paramotor for a chat who was pleased to have some new friends to play with. Only shame was it would have been a good day for towing with plenty of lift around, still there is always tomorrow...
