Nigel drops the line on his first flight to the top
loving the view
Despitet only having one student available we decided to give it a go with a late start at 11.30 and aiming for an early finish so we did not overload him! Nigel A was keen to crack on with his Hang Gliding so we were keen to accommodate him and make the most oaf a nice day. With the glider rigged, checked and the winch ready to go Kaz arrived at 12.30 and off we went.
Nigel steadily put the tows in building on his release flights from Thursday and starting turns as well. each flight went a little higher and after a break to let things soak in and a cup of coffee he moved into higher flights and steeper turns. With everything looking good and airspeed nicely under control he was ready for the big one. His first flight to the top of the line was near perfect and the next two even better!
turning in for landing
Thirteen flights to his credit we decided to give it a rest and pack up for the day and what a day it was ( well few hours actually) . Learning to fly does not have to be to hard a work and with low numbers and a winch (oh and a willing student) it is amazing what can be done.
enough said
Well done to Nigel for keeping up and some lovely towing from Kaz as the wind varied through the day down to practically zero. At this rate another couple of days and we will be off to the hills ;)
