Started at 8 am with nice 15 km/h winds. Mr E locked the kiting in and I wall able to get him to work with hand throthle and I also gave him hand full of rope hand tows. If all is well, he will fly tonight.

Got together this am and went over the paramotor pre-start/pre-flight procedures. Covered how to prime the engine, how to safely start it. Learned how to untangle lines and hook up for forward and reverse. Both Mr E and Sheldon picked it up real quick.

Two students in this course.

Mr E does not want to be featured on my web so there will be only pics related to Sheldon.

Ground school done – finished at 4:30. Raining outside so no trip to the field.
