July 18/19 – Sean 4 more flights
Sean did two flights in the morning and two flights in the evening all well executed.
The Flying window of opportunity in the morning was very short. Craig and Paul did more ground handling it’s not going that great. I’m running out of tools in my toolbox to help them. After lots and lots of hours of kiting they still do basic mistakes.
In the evening Sean did two more flights. I think he could have done more but the machine is almost half of his weight and that makes it physically tough. Sean and Paul Ground handled. Some improvement but not ready for flying yet.
July 17/18 – Hot
It has been extremely hot and humid. We have lots of cold water and a quick shade but even that doesn’t do it. We often give up because it’s just too hot. Sean managed two flights this morning and has 4 now. Craig is ready to fly soon but some cleanup is still required with his kiting. Paul is very good at forwards and not very good at reverses and I’m gonna leave it at that. Ha ha. Everybody’s having fun – it’s a good blend of fun guys. We had some beers in Sean’s motor home last night and shoot the shit till almost 11 o’clock. Great time I really enjoyed it.
July 15/18 – Kiting and Sean’s First solo
We kited in insane heat. Wind finally broke through at 5 pm. Sean managed his first solo on his new gear. Sky Paraglider Cima K 2 S and Kangook LTE with Fly EVO 2 engine from Vittorazi. CONGRATS!
July 11/18 – The Chrokee kicked my ass
It was crazy turbulent. I had to tighten the lap belt as I was banging my head on the roof of the cabin…
