We had a very good conditions at the field last night. After several tries Jeff took off for his first solo flight after only three training sessions – definitely above average. Will came and did some ground handling. Jeff then added another flight to his log for total of two.
Congrats Jeff on you first solo
We had very good conditions at the field. Jeff completed his motor exercises such as motor assembly and preflight, start up and running under power. he also learned how to use PPG helmet, check on channel, lock channel and make sure that the batteries are fresh. We also ground handled first with just training harness but shortly after with the motor on his back. We eventually lost most of the wind but Jeff was doing really well – I estimate that he may need one more session and then its first solo flight…
Great night at the field. Lawrence 6 flights and Mike 2 flights.
Wind were coming from NE gusting to 22 km/h. We ground handled but decided not to fly due to instablility of the air.
This season, the wind conditions are upside down… ;-(
Nice evening at the field. Will worked on his kiting with motor on his back and turned on.
Will has ground handled more. He has mastered both the forward and reverse inflation.
All we need is that perfect 15 km/h wind to go solo. It will happen soon.
