Buzzzzzzing


The day winds up

The field looked more like an Airpark with plenty of everything going on as pilots and students took advantage of the lovely weather.

Visiting pilots Geoff and mark H (Honiton) were down on holiday and had already got their Paramotor and Powered Hangy rigged by the time we arrived. They were joined by Triston J (Torquay) on his Parajet Volution and  Keith S on his Fly Products Race C both now CPC qualified on Paramotors and just topping up experience.  They all had a great time putting in some lovely flights and learning a few more things along the way.

 Pete L made an appearance with various pieces of kit ........

John R came along a bit later with his unit for me to try before he flew it which turned out to be a good idea for him and not such a good one for me as the harness was not the easiest it has to be said and the unit is a little on the heavy side.  Net result John decided to give it a miss!!

Peter V (St Austell) now having completed his EPC Paragliding flights along with 3 high flights got on with serious ground handling with the power unit on his back and built up to aborted take offs before going for it.  By the end of the day he had worked hard and was ready to go up but after a couple of attempts decided to wait for the next day out.

On the Paraglding side we had John S and Jenny (Plymouth) along on taster days and  Daryll V on his second day.  The guys worked well in the morning getting themselves sorted and by the time they were ready to tow things were looking good.  John and Jenny put in 3 super flights each with Jenny taking the prize for being relaxed :). Daryll made good progress into his EPC tasks moving through release flights and into higher ones whilst building up the turns.

A busy day overall and plenty of smiling faces, what more can you ask....

Quote of the day " what the h*ll
is that?"
