Tom gets going on the hand tows
Michel works his way up the line
Trev does what Trev does
Tom looking good as he sets off on his Taster Day flightsAnother sunny day in the tow field although a little hazy with a moderate NNE breeze.
Tom V (Bristol) was along for a Taster day on the Paraglider whilst Michel K (Falmouth) continued his EPC on the hanger and Trev H (Paignton) put in some experience flights on his hanger.
Tom worked well through the morning and even as the breeze filled a bit dealt with conditions getting to grips with basic canopy control in both reverse and forward. By early afternoon he was ready for the winch but with the wind on the top end we kept him on hold whilst the hangers played. Michel made good progress moving into release flights and gentle turns down to land but still needs to perfect his landing skills although his view is that one of the tyres is at a different pressure to the other one and that causes a turn!
Trev had a ball popping in the high flights and despite some turbulence up high looked on top of the game, lets hope it gets hill soarable for him soon.
With an easing in the breeze we took the opportunity to get Tom on the line and he put in three nice flights across the field getting up to 50' in the air and landing on his feet every time to round off his Taster day.
Nick F (Exeter) made a return trip with his Paramotor for a final check out to complete his Pilot rating and had some nice flying despite the poor visibility, well done Nick enjoy......
