Michel K comes in for a landing on the Paramotor

A man in love ..............................

Dave L comes in afetr the last tow of the day to worry the sheep

It was slightly later start in the field as we allowed for a late stay as it was the Open evening for the KHPA memebrs. Mike D put in some more ground work before strapping the Paramotor to his back and practicing with it doing remarkably well. Next we started it up and he put in three super ground runs with aborted take offs showing that he is ready for the big one. Unfortunately he had an early afternoon appointment which meant he had to leave early, still ready for the next good day when we should see him up and away.

After changing the cage and propeller back to the 115 size (more suitable for the smaller pilot) Michel K did a first class reverse launch on the Paramotor to enjoy a lovely 20 minute flight before putting in an equally good landing to move him into his CPC Paramotor course.

Then it was off to get the winch running and with yours truly at the controls Dave L (qualified yesterday started 15th march), Rick W Steve M and Adam W all put in some nice tows to give me some well needed practice, thanks guys.....

A short break saw Michel put in another flight on the Paramotor this time with a forward launch which whilst not as neat as his reverse he sorted out well and set off for another stunning flight cruising around at 2000' enjoying the views before once again putting in a lovely landing, he's getting there.

By now the proper winchmen had turned up and took over to demonstrate the system to those KHPA members who turned up for the evening to have a look. Has to be said not many arrived but those who did seemed happy enough and who wouldn't be on such a lovely evening with flying going on and a BBQ to boot. Dave and Adam used the lines getting the best tows of the day with some evening lift passing through. Another happy day in the tow filed.
