Plenty for all

Nigel W at the end of his EPC tasks

Waiting and resting

Sarah gets away nice and straight

Rod G (Darth Vader) was it really that scary?

Another lovely day in the field saw a fine mix of students as well as a few others enjoying the high pressure sunshine.

We got going pretty quickly with Mike G (London) on the Calypso (Hang Glider) spending the day building experience in readiness for the hill. he had another good day playing with bits of lift, exploring the speed range and generally sweetening up his flying.

Jerry W (mid Wales) returned after an eight month lay off to continue his Hang Gliding EPC and worked well through the day getting himself back up to speed. By the end of the day he was looking pretty good having sorted the airspeed thing so doing nice turns and even some reasonable landings. Hopefully he will finish his EPC next day out (tomorrow).

Sarah and Nigel (St Just) were back at it and after putting in some useful ground handling joined the tow line to put in some good flying. Sarah moved well into her EPC with some nice towing and good turns down to land leaving only a couple of flights to go before heading to the top. Nigel had a cracker and worked well to finish off his day with a super flight to the top of the line and a very nice flight down much to his amazement. Well done to both of you guys we are getting there.

Keiron C (Tintagel) was along for the first day of his Two Day Taster which was bought for him as a wedding present! He did really well making the ground handling look easy despite the light wind. By the end of the day he had put in 4 very nice flights across the field and landed on his feet every time. Hopefully he will be back tomorrow and move onto release flights and turns.

Rod G (Falmouth) was also back after a bit of a break and got straight on with some ground work before getting back onto the winch. He did well and was soon back into the swing of it putting in nice tows and turns, top of the line next for him I think.

Barry H (Falmouth) a qualified pilot came along for a few tows and had some really nice flights with the added bonus of sorting out his landings at the same time making them look very easy by the days end. Great to see Wanda S (Porthleven) out to hopefully getting some inspiration for some T shirt designs and enjoying the flying company, it was almost like a party!

Thanks to Bill and Tim for keeping it running smoothly and resisting the temptation as the buzzards cored out overhead!
