This was the radar at 4:30 pm with heavy rain falling down.
I thought there is no chance we will fly but the rain stopped at 6:30 pm and by 7 grass was dry enough to fly.
Ben, 3 more flights. Gaetan, 3 more flights. Tommy first solo and second flight as well. Congrats Tommy on your first solo tonight!
Totals:
Gaetan – 4 flights
Ben – 6 flights
Tommy – 2 flights
No flying or kiting this am – rain.
Watched and dissected Youtube crash videos.
Also I have passed my color blidnes test today so i can start working towards my commercial aeroplane flying.
Very nice note from Pat – former student Spring 2013
Hi Andre,
Just a bit of an update on my awesome flying life since finishing your course May 9 2013. I am still flying the Kangook Classic with Moster 185 engine while using a reflex Apco Force Medium 27 meter wing. Like any engine running at such high RPMs I have had issues but over all I am glad I was handy enough to fix them all myself and get back in the air.
It’s been well over a year that I have been qualified but I did not fly at all during the winter…so this month makes exactly one year of flying. I thought I would share some stats with you:
– 101 flights (YAY Awsome to get that under my belt!
– 2067 km in the air
– 3821 minutes (63 hrs)
– Approximately 275 litres of gas and 7 litres of oil
– $$$ As for parts needed for stupid mistakes, I wont get into that!! :-)
I’ve flown all around the areas in the Ottawa and have several sites to choose from and also belong to a paramotor club in Gatineau across the river. I love flying by myself but it’s also nice get out with other pilots as well.
Thanks for your great guidance, fast parts delivery and superior teaching! I am sure as most of your students have said before…” I wish I had started 10 years earlier!”

Very windy at first. Winds started to die around 8:30 pm but the rain began. No one flew tonight. Tommy has got it though, he will solo next time we fly.

Ben flew twice more. Gaetan, managed his first solo! Tommy will fly soon.
Ben flew. Congrats on your first solo!
Tommy and Gaetan will fly soon.
Motor work and ground handling.
The usual morning and early afternoon at Peaks. Ground school completed. The off to the field for ground handling. Ben is almost ready to fly!
Just looking at my gas receipt after I have topped up in Sudbury. I have burned 95.7 l of 100 LL and flew 2.8 hrs including run up, taxing and so on. So this puppy takes 34.17 liters per hour flying at 112 Kts which is 208 km/h.
