One stop - all Go

Having had a lovely day out yesterday with my Dad and eldest Son on the boat it was fingers crossed for a good day in the tow field today.  As it turned out we picked the perfect day with a light NE breeze set in from the start and a slightly overcast sky keeping things nice and smooth.

By 10.00 the Paraglider boys were rigged and ready to play and Geoff P on the Paramotor was well on his way to getting ready.  The winch was set and things got rolling with a demo flight of Asymmetric' s and Big ears in readiness for Frank H and Gary T to hopefully complete their CPC flying tasks.  They were joined by Steve B and Sean M both back after their taster days for more and looking forward to getting back in the air.

Gary led the way and was soon up there getting the Ears in and steering with weight shift, no problem. Frank followed suit making it all look the way it should and finding it to be "all right" ;)

Whilst Frank and Gary worked their way through the Big Ears and into the Asymmetrics which they both did really well in, giving it a little more than the minimum that is required, Sean and Steve moved into their EPC tasks.  A refresh on non release to make sure they had not forgotten what to do then it was into releases flights before starting gentle turns.

By the end of the day they were just starting bigger turns from a greater height having put 9 flights in each.  Frank and Gary having finished their flying tasks enjoyed the afternoon racking up some experience flights and competing for the spot landing, coming out joint first based on style and accuracy and getting 10 flights each.  They both took and exam each passing nicely so congratulations Guys, see you on the hill next time.

Meanwhile on the Paramotor front Geoff now joined by Fergie and Treeve popped in a nice flight to finish off his CPC tasks and get signed off so he is now able to fly out of the school and build experience before returning to get his Pilot tasks finished.  Hope to see you soon Geoff.

Fergie and Treeve had a fun afternoon practicing take offs and landings on their Paramotor and to be fair were both excellent, non of this "just got away with that" take offs or landings for them, long may it continue.

So a sweet day with no winch moves and perfect conditions, what more can you ask.  Thanks to all for making it fun, to frank for the Honey and to Phil for keeping things moving.  Oh forgot to mention it must have been smooth as even Phil L took a line on his Delta 2 and made it look easy.........
