A 09.00 start in the field saw the Paramotor guys assemble to get the leg work in before the tow students arrived. having gone through the basics, introduction to the unit and start up procedures next thing was ground running with the unit. First was Mike D who cracked us up with his efforts but did ok realising just how different it is, next was Luke H who did a fine job looking pretty sweet but then he had done it on a previous Taster day. Michel K gave it his best shot with his little legs giving their all before Tim J took over, getting a little over zealous he wound in resulting in one ex propeller but no other damage, it happens.
Next we got the tow boys going with Sam A and Dave L finishing off their CPC tasks by performing Asymmetrics in both directions before putting in a couple of relaxing flights before lunch. Luke also popped in a couple of high flights so putting in the final flying tasks before getting into the Paramotor.
Lunch time saw Sam and Dave complete their CPC exams which they both passed so becoming full qualified on the tow meaning that they could play as independent pilots through the afternoon which they did along with Kieth W.
Sarah and Sam both enjoyed some Tandem flights in glorious sunshine looking happy with the experience.
then it was back with the Paramotor boys getting them ground handling with the unit on their backs, another ball game. By the end of the day Michel K was ready for the off and had a super flight on the Paramotor flying for 15 minutes up to 1500' before coming in and performing as super landing.
A perfect end to a busy day which included two more CPC ratings, well done guys. Sorry no pictures. Well done too to ex paraglider student Dougal M on his first XC of over 22k the first of many I think...
