June 26/14 pm – Jesse, flight numero quatro
Very low wind at the field this pm. Jesse worked on his forward technique and added one more flight to his log forward inflating the glider.
Lawrence attempted to take off but due to lack of wind did not succeed. In the process he stubled, and chipped prop.
This is what he wrote last night:

June 26/14 am – Jesse, flight numero tres
Again, great wind at the field this am. Jesse worked on his reverse technique and added one more flight to his log reverse inflating the glider.
Lawrence managed 6 flights in very short time. He has got it down. We are just doing some fine tweaks.
June 26/14 – No more phone line
I got tired of spending $ 50 per moth on ther office telephone land line just to capture occasional voice message.
Therefore I have cancelled the service and the 905 988 5013 number will not work anymore.
I figured anybody knows how to email and if you ask me for my cell over the email, I will give it to you.
I would much rather pass the $ 600 per year as savings to my customers then spending it on something that is becoming obsolete.
June 25/14 pm – Jesse, flight numero dos
Great at the field this pm. Jesse worked on his reverse technique and cracked it in 1 hour. Then he went for his second flight using his gear. This guy amazes me.
Mike showed up for more flying but after some kiting and after one failed forward launch attempt he took it easy as his back is stil sore.
Herman, spring 2013 student, came for a quick flight and id a lot of “pretzels” as he calls them near the ground. I sold him Moster in RS ultra frame and he is trusting it little too much going down wind 5 ft above ground. He will need new prop soon.
June 25/14 – Jesse, flight numero uno
Perfect at the field this morning. After 3 hrs of ground handling Jesse was ready for first flight. All went well. His landing was bit rough but that is normal.
June 24/14 – Jesse started his PPG course
Jesse completed ground school, all motor work including powered runs and also glider hook up for both forward and reverse inflation. He will write Pstar over night.
June 22/14 – Equipment rentals
I include use of PPG equipment for the duration of the course but I do not rent any gear to students who have finished their training.
Sorry, you have to get your own.
June 22/14 – Two tandems
Flew 2 tandem flights on Sunday evening – great conditions. Amazing flights. Video coming…
June 21/14 – Fly in
Went to great fly-in this weekend with my buddy Chris. Had engine out – exhaust nuts backed off and took a chunk of my prop out mid flight. Made safe forced landing. Got picked up and went straight to beer.
Great to see old friends and make new ones!

What a great time! I hope this will become an annual.
