Three get High

The guys and Scruff ready the Falcon whilst Hangy Dave rigs the Calypso

A light SW forecast saw us in the field with hangies although as it turned out the wind was NW!  Still having use of the "Bird Seed" field helped out as the wind flicked about a little.  James C (London) and Phil L (Illogan) were both back for day three of their EPC's and Dave D (Newquay) also returned on his fifth day as hae approaches the end of his CPC tasks.

A recap flight on the Falcon soon saw Dave back into the swing of things and it was not long before he hopped onto the Calypso followed by converting to a chest release.  In amongst this he managed to complete his CPC tasks with planned approaches and Slow flight appreciation putting 9 flights over the day.

James and Phil kept pace with each other and grasped the fact that the correct airspeed makes life easy by mid afternoon.  They worked through turns and sorted out their landing flares as the wind progressively dropped.  As the end of the day approached they were ready for their first flights to the top of the tow in what was now pretty much nil wind.  Both did an excellent job to round off with super flights , super landings and super smiles, nice one.

Add to this the successfully taking of their EPC exams and they gained that as well so putting the icing on the cake.

Nice to see Paul H out on the winch keeping his hand in and doing such a good job despite me badgering him for this and that through the day.

Quote of the day " that's really cool"
