Adrian gets going on the Hanger with phippsy in hot pursuit
Trev cracks smooth landings and release flights
Graham H gets airborne on the Paraglider with legs akimboWe were due a bit of good weather and boy did we get it. In the tow filed it was like summer with light winds and plenty of sunshine getting us down to T shirts for a lot of the time.
Adrian A (Gloucester) was along for a go at hang Gliding having tried it back in the late 70's and had a good day working through the basics before getting onto the tow line and putting in some nice first flights although some work is still required on the landings.... Things have changed over 30 years and he was impressed at how much safer and controlled the training is and just how much easier it is on the tow line, he will be back soon i think.
Graham H (N.Devon) came along for a taster day of paramotoring and also had a fun time playing with the paraglider doing really well and putting away 3 super flights getting up to 60' whilst cruising 200m across the field before performing nice stand up landings. To round off his day we introduced him to a power unit, strapped it onto his back and gave him the feel of what is to come should he pursue the sport. a quick demonstration flight showed him how it all works to and seemed to convince him it was the way to go.
Trevor H (Paignton) made a showing and had a great time on the Hanger moving deeper into his EPC with release flights and gentle turns as well as sweetening up his landings so big smile from him.
Good to see Bill N along being as helpful as ever and thanks to winchman Graham M for doing a fine job with the "sticks". It was nice to be back in the field after a bit of a break and lets hope for more of the same soon.
