Aaron came to finish his license. He had 28 flights and needed 2 more. His kiting skills are awesome but his ability to hook up needs improvement. Within five minutes I have realized that Aaron is ready to fly even though I have not seen him in months. We tried four times and each time he had everything line up perfectly but when he went to full power he wasn’t getting enough trust. I did the usual carburetor tuning but that did not fix it. I was just about to say that he needs to leave his machine with me so I can fix it for him but I noticed that his propeller was mounted inside out. Three minutes later I had it flipped and Erin quickly did two flights followed by six touch and goes. Congrats Aaron on completing your license requirements.

Graham did three flights in the fall but this was a first time after six months we were going to train more. After such a long pause we always have to go back to ground handling and that is what Graham did. He picked it up back really well and will fly again soon.

3 guys tonight.

Kevin, Kevin S who was in April course and Ryan.

Wind was strong till 7 andf thgen the mayham started. # guys is a lot of work. Ke4vin did 6 more flight using his nerw Kangook paramotor. Kevin took off andf got real engine out – the fuel filter cracked and started to leak fuel. Kevin S added 4 more flights to his collections. This time much better with lot more stability on take off. Busy night!

Another great day at the field. Kevin nailed it 15 flights! Congrats Kevin on first solo and 14 more flights!

Kevin will fly tomorrow morning.

Nice afternoon at the field. Started at 3 pm with bit more kiting. Wind was gusting a bit till about 4:30. At this point Ryan was ready for the motor as his kiting was very good. Kevin still makes small mistake here and there but that will go away soon. Ryan started to ground handle with his paramotor but seem to have real issue with the weight and awkwardness of the unit. He worked hard but could not nail it. There is much less feel when you have the motor on your back and it is easy to over-brake. Kevin improved to the point that he has started to ground handle with the motor as well. Finished at 8 pm as both students were exhausted.I was tired too. Three 14 hr days in the row are hard. No first solo tonight – lets hope it will happen tomorrow.
