No wind, relatively warm air... I decided to do some hop in for my
own pleasure + I needed to test couple of things.
It was great flying in very smooth air. I only lasted 40 min - I
am turning into a sissy when it comes to cold air...
Nov 5/09 More training with
Ralph on Sunday Nov 1.
Sunday was a nice day so me and Mark went to the field to meet
Ralph for more training. He brought his film crew with him to get
some footage for the up coming documentary called the Beauty Day. It
was over a month since Ralph flew last time so it took couple of
tries to get in the air. On first attempt he did not apply full
power and on the second sat back too early. After that we managed
two good flights. First flawless, the second with bit of a stumble
on landing. Mark was test flying one of our units and filming Ralph
air to air. Arthur showed up later on with his trike and showed us
some quite wild take offs. Bit of a PPG rodeo.
Good day. The beer at the end tasted like honey...
Oct 27/09 I can still run PPG
course.
Even though there is no more
courses scheduled this year I can still run one based on date
agreement. The weather is very unpredictable now so this would only
work for someone wiling to drive down for each training session.
Please email me at
zemanandre@yahoo.com if interested.
Oct 27/09 Two students started PPG
course on Oct 17, 2009
Martin and Zsolt
Martin has some experience flying hangliding trike and Zsolt is
PG instructor with over 100 PPG flights. Ground school went well. We
went to our field for flying where Zsolt demonstrated his skills and
flew 5 times. Martin was working on his ground handling skills and
Valentyn came down for visit as well.
