Marvallous on the Mars!

Motorway in the sky, yummy Paul and Dean at the end of another good day


A very nice fun day in the field was had by all in what turned out to be bouncy conditions with plenty of thermals around.


Paul L (Plymouth) was along for day one on a hanger and to keep him company Dean F (Falmouth) on his second hangy day joined in the fun.

Paul did really well working through the ground work and was looking pretty good by the time he was ready for the winch. We got him going early afternoon and after a couple of hops on the Condor he was getting the hang of it and progressing with every flight.

Dean then clipped in and proved he had not lost what he learnt by popping in a couple of nice flights and one more challenging one which taught him some new tricks!

After a short break we rigged the Mars as the breeze had picked up and conditions were a little more lively. A quick demo flight saw me straight into a climb from release and well on my way out of the field towards Falmouth before pulling out of a nice 5 up to return to teach, one day.....


Dean after a conversion flight was soon releasing and by the end of the day had started gentle turns to put him well into his EPC tasks and looking good. meanwhile Paul carried on on the Mars and had a cracking day putting him nicely in position for untethered flights on his second day. Well done guys and well done to Coady for some excellent winching and a super tow straight into a thermal :)

We rounded off the day with a visit to Perranporth where there were several Paras out playing including Adi recently qualified and making the most of it.
