Aug 19/16 – PPG course day 2 pm
Starting to kite at 3:30. Brutal heat. Chris is moving along nicely he’s working with mock up hand throthle and near the end he was trying forward inflations with paramotor on his back. Chris is right behind him. I’m hoping for cooler temperature tomorrow.
Aug 19/16 – PPG course day 2 am
We started at 7:30 in the morning with learning how to start motors and also how to use them to get pushed on takeoff. We also practiced shutting the engines off very quickly if need be. By 830 wind picked up and we started to ground handle. As usual wind was increasing and around 1130 Chris got lifted up by a dust devil to about 12 feet. It was pretty wild. That was a clear indication to pack up which we did.
Aug 18/16 – Massimo and Chris started PPG course
Ass usual, very long day. Solid 12 hour in heat. I hate heat. Ground school and simulator done. Then 4 hrs of reverse ground handling.
