The day gets going with the hangies in the lead
Anna P gets weight shift underway
Steve W pops in an Assymmetric
Jake C a man on a mission
Rodders C does a nice inflation on the way to his first high flight
Stuart C shows how to do nodding dog
Bill shows his best side
Ann W does a nice correction on the line
Emil lands nicely on his new Dudek Plus
The kettle sings at the end of a long day, or was it two !
"Where will we be towing from" a simple question but a very good one to show how easily information can be taken in different ways and both ways are right! Still the good news is we managed to clarify everything and we had a cracking if somewhat busy day in the field.
From the word go it was going to be a good one with the demo flight on the hangy resulting in me floating around and out of the field in a very lifty and buoyant sky. We quickly had the students on line starting with the hangies whop had a great day. Ian L (Bristol) moved into higher flights and turns making it all look pretty easy whilst Jake C (Somerset) finished off straight and level before moving into release flight and gentle turns. Both are nicely set to finish off their EPC's next time out with a bit of luck.
After a bit of ground handling the Paragliders lined up and the winch worked steadily through them. Steve W (Truro) had a good day finishing off his CPC flying tasks with Big ears and Assymetrics alongside Ian F (Gwithian) who did the same manoeuvres but possibly a bit more extreme! Luckily for both the air was that lifty that even big ears only resulted in a bit of a loss in height, in fact ian had his longest flight after doing them.....
Anna P (Gwithian) made good progress with some super towing, spot landings, 180's and weight shift to put her well into her CPC and looking solid. Emil K had a fun day putting in the experience flights and converting onto his own kit and acting as launch dummy for Steve W to do his launch marshaling on.
Colin B (Dartmouth) moved into release flights and worked on perfecting stand up landings whilst Ann W (Dartmouth) put in her remaining low level releases before going a little higher and starting gentle turns.
Rodders C (Mousehole), Stuart C (Saltash) and Richard M (N.Devon) all had a cracking time working well and being rewarded with their first high flights and circuits at the end of the day and big smiles all round. Stuart and Richard are both learning to Paramotor so next time out another flight or so each then its a different game :)
With 76 tows put away and a lot achieved it was a credit to all how smoothly it ran , thanks guys once again your help is much appreciated not only by Kaz and myself but by the students as well.......
