With our hangy boys from yesterday up for more fun we headed to Perranporth for some "static" tethering. With the wind straight on and around mid twenties it was good conditions and soon enough Kaz was doing a demo on the Mars for Kev S (Yeovil) and Michel K (Falmouth).
Kev was first in and quickly got to grips with the basics as he flew slowly towards the front before being restrained by the tethers and landing. next in was Michel who found it a little more challenging but improved with each flight. By the end of the day they were both looking really good dealing with the turbulent bits and putting in "soaring" flights with the ropes slack.
Paul W (Truro) who had been kindly helping out with the tethers made use of the stronger breeze at the end of the day to have a go and showed that even after 27 years of not being in a hanger he could still remeber it, think he will be back soon.....
Carez and Kaz both took the opportunity to fly their hangies in a quieter slot although whilst they were up things got breezy again resulting in two "bouncy" landings and some time "off" for Kaz.
A useful day with plenty learnt and the guys keen for more.
