Great afternoon at the field.

Manuel came to work on his ground handling. He is making a switch from ultralight aeroplane to PPG.

He almost has it locked in. He has to work bit more as his glider is not as user friendly as the Cima K 2 that I have been using for last 4 seasons.

Maciej was on fire – 12 flights.

All well done except 1 cross wind landing with bit of a belly flop into the muddy bean field. We have practiced forced landings – well done. Maciej passed on both landings. He is now taking off and landing on his own.

Next time it is big ears emergency descend practice and steep turns

Grass was wet. Mark did 4 more short flights. Derren decided that it was getting too gusty for him and Maciej tried practice take offs with engine running and helmet on and it went very well. He will fly tonight.

Some asshole did donuts at the end of the runway after we had 4 inches of rain and destroyed the grass and made huge ruts. Fu%#@ing red necks.

All there guys ground handled and Mark with motor on his back. I think he will fly this evening.

Went to the field but it was flooded and winds were close to 35 km/h. Could not do anything.

Too windy and raining – no training
