Classic end of day shot (Anna)



Spring must be coming and the students are starting to que up.  We had busy enough day in the field a bit of a shock after some "easy" times.

With four Taster day/day ones on we were kept busy in the morning getting through the basics in conditions that were strong enough to be challenging.  Still by early afternoon and just as the wind eased a bit everyone was doing well.  Ian, Anna, Treeve and James had all worked hard and had all grasped the basics and even getting to the stage of some nice ground handling in reverse.

Alongside them Steve W (Truro) on his second day and Phil L (Redruth) on his 6th day both did really well sorting out their stronger wind handling and both looked very competent as we broke for lunch.

A tow brief, some hand tows and conditions were perfect for flying so that's what we did. After Kaz did a demo/check out flight we got into full swing with Steve W cracking on into his EPC flights and popping in 5 by the end of play seeing him up to 100'= and doing some nice turns down to land.  Phil L slotted in between the taster days to consolidate on his CPC flights and had a great time looking like a pilot with it.

Anna led the way for the day oners and showed the guys how to do it with a cracking take off. James followed her off and put in a classic first flight followed by Treeve and Ian.  With conditions staying good the guys put in three flight each ending up flying sweetly across the field and all ending with stand up landings to round off a super day as the sun set.

Well done to all and it looks like they will be out again tomorrow :)
