Taking it easy

Chris comes in for a landing

Happy chappies at the end of the day


It took a while for the mist to clear giving us time to catch Chris B (Plymouth) up on his EPC theory before heading to the field at midday. Timing was spot on and as the clag lifted the sun came through and the breeze was perfect.

We got towing by just before one and the demo flight showed conditions as nice and lifty. Chris was soon up and away moving into his CPC tasks as well as enjoying some super flying and stunning views as the clouds came and went. Adi C (Illogan) joined in the fun and quickly rattled off his remaining CPC flights so becoming qualified on the tow and ready for the hill, well done Adi.

Mark (Bedfordshire) dropped by with his Paramotor for some practice and certainly got some resulting in a quick flight around the field but still needs a bit more.

Bill got his new Rush 3 out of the bag and after a ground handling session took it in the air for the first time on the tow and made a cracking job of it landing with a Big Bill Grin on his face, I think he is happy.

By the end of the day Chris had moved over half way through his flights with a total of 12 more flights to his credit and Adis's towing had improved imensely giving him higher tows .

Bill finally took to my hints and I sneaked in two flights on his Rush 3 to find out just what a nice glider it is, a worthy replacement for the Rush 2 ? You bet :)
