Excellent condition at the field. Jason proceeded to do 3 more flights. He finally got his forward inflations in.
Tonight was one of the magical nights. Perfect visibility, warm, hardly any wind a PPG pilots dream…
Jason went for a nice XC flight and he is done. All requirements to get his license were completed. Congratulation Jason.
June 19/14 – PPG course day 6 – am
Excellent condition at the field. Jason proceeded to do 10 more flights. All revers inflation. He diod not get a chance to do any forwards yet, wind has always been over 10 km/h.
Mike had his second flight. Great take off and landing but the the flight it self was terrible. Mike was changing power settings too abruptly which introduced forward and back oscillation and he has also tried to correct his swinging sideways – but beginner never gets the fixing right. So the result was completely un-stabilized flight with major rocking side to side and forward and back. Let me tell ya, I did get my dose of adrenalin for today…
