David – nice forward

Apr 16/13 – Bad weather good for fixing

Both Ryan and David purchased their own paramotors – not new, used. So there was bunch of issues we needed to fix – both machines were not ready for flying. Spend pretty much all day working in the shop.

Ryan’s paramotor is ready to fly but David’s still needs some work.

Apr 16/13 – Too windy, no flying today

Bad forecast for today. No flying!

David purchased his PPG gear before the course so we have to do some minor fixing. We also have to balance both the paramotor and paramotor with trike so it is ready for use.

Very long day for me – I am tired!
