July 19/14 am – Training with Mark
Almost no wind at 8 am. We have tried forward, Mark had it all lined up but when he started to power up he did not stand up and prop pushed him on his belly. We re-set and he had another try but on that one glider came up really crooked and then it started to rain and we were done. No flight for Mark this am. ;-(
July 18/14 am – PPG course with Ron, Graeme and Glenn
Low wind morning. Students took advantage of the mellow conditions. No one ate grass or beans even though it was difficult to take off.
Everybody has 30 flights now and next step is the ultra exam with Transport Canada.
That was very fun week. I really enjoyed these guys. DAS BOOT!

It took a while for wind to die off. We filled time replacing few compromised steering lines, attaching rescue parachute and Kangook water rescue system to Glenn’s machine. Then all flew. Glen is totally on his own, in fact he was kicking everybody’s but this am in low wind conditions.
No one ate the beans! Das boot!
