Joe gets set to launch Phippsy on his new T2 C
What a super day it was at Sennon where conditions were just ideal for the Hang Gliders. Graham A led the way proving it was nice and lifty on his Sport 2 and made it look nice enough for me to try out my new Wills Wing T2 C. Should not have been surprised really but what a super glider, very predictable, well co ordinated oodles of glide, sink rate and speed all combined with super handling and easy landings, roll on the comp's!
Next it was up and away on the Tandem Hanger with Hanna (16 ) and Lotty (14 ) (not at the same time) both down from Bath who had lovely flights over scenic Sennon combined with a go at flying the glider. Hannah had done some before in the USA and can't wait to learn over here as soon as she is 16. Lotty was really relaxed and just loved the whole experience as the smiles showed.
Kev G (Yorkshire) wanted some check out flights on the Tandem to regain his tandem rating and after taking me up had a fun afternoon taking his son Joe (who had already been down to the sea for a surf on his "new" board) and Kev T up in quick succession looking very smooth with it. Kev also got a go on my T2C and was looking for a swap on his Combat even before he landed!
Kaz had a fine time on her Hanger putting in a couple of great flights on what is now her favourite site. It was great to fly alongside her on my glider, who would ever have thought it??
Ex student Kieth S pitched up and had a nice afternoon flying the site for the first time and doing a fine job of it to round off a cracking day. Again so good to see the hangers out at play, but where were the "locals"??
