Kev gets set on the "new" Calypso complete with chest release

It was a perfect training breeze in the field for the hangers and with 3 on the go we made the best of it.

With a consistent light to moderate SW breeze things were easy and no moving around the field was necessary, lovely.

Michel K (Falmouth) got the ball rolling as he finished off his EPC flying tasks having cracked the "secret" of the right airspeed and body movement making his turns co ordinated and efficient. By just after lunch he was off to the top of the line as he started on his CPC tasks and by the end of the day with more flights under his belt was looking good and even landing by the sock on his feet, nice one.

Rob S (Truro) returned after a bit of a break and spent the day getting back into it. he worked hard over his 12 tows but still a little more work is needed to get those turns sweet so hopefully next time out he will crack it and be off to the top.

Kev S (Yeovil) came down for the day and had another cracking time moving well into his CPC tasks completing prone conversion, 180's, spot landings as well as converting to the chest release and the Calypso over a total of 13 flights making the long drive well worth while.

Adi (C) popped out for the afternoon to practice his ground handling on the Parglider and worked hard losing a few pounds along the way i think.

Nice to see the Hangies making good progress and with a bit of luck and the right weather we should see them sorted in the next few weeks and ready for the summer fun.
