Ashley sets up for his first landing
not sure if it's happiness or relief
Martin does a first class launch on his Doodle BugNot mention internal body searches! It was an interesting day in the filed where we were up to Powered Hang Gliding with Ashley R from Plymouth who was on his Mosquito NRG / K4 combination.
Ashley had a full day going through the theory stuff before "hitting" the field in the early morning. After setting up his wing and adjusting the harness and limit lines it was time for a demo' flight which is always fun on other peoples kit, not much pressure then. Next it was Ashleys turn and after a few warm up runs he was up and away for a fine 15 minute flight before dropping back into the field at the agreed location. BIG SMILE, something to drink and he was off again into what was by now an active looking sky.
By the end of the day he had put away 3 good flights, learnt lots and burnt up plenty of fuel (energy). Good to see Martin R along with him who enjoyed a couple of flights on his Doodle Bug/ Java combination in the bouncy conditions and kept us entertained with his stories as a customs officer, now you know where it came from.
Coady had a day off and made good use of it at Godrevy where he could be seen working his Rush up to several thousand feet before heading off inland.
