Cracking day at Perran

Michel starts the day off a bit on the wobbly side

it doesn't take long for michel to get the "hang" of it and straighten up

Kev flying nicely with ropes slack, shame about the legs

Kaz comes in to top land

My kinder Egg suprise from the hatchlings, amazing it came out of the yellow container and it flies really well, thanks guys, how did you know it was in there???

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.
