At the field real early. Wind already at 20 to 25 km/h. Tried handling with S glider but it was too overpowering even though Mike is 270 lb – pure muscle. Switched to trainer glider. Wind gusting to 35 km/h but Mike picked up ground handling in reverse no problem.
We have completed the ground school including simulator, Pstar was written – 100 % – and SPP issued. We went to the field and learned how to hook up for forward and reverse. I have demonstrated kiting but it was super windy + Mike was tired after 12 hr drive. We finished at 7:30 pm […]
Again excellent condition at the field – in no time Jeff managed 11 flights. All flights were reverse inflated. Jeff is landing on his feet and is now responsible for trimming the glider. He can take off on completely his own.
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 […]
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 […]
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.
