Today was a great training day at the GGC. The
temperature was mild, and the sky was blue but interspersed with cumulus clouds
in abundance. Unfortunately they dampened down the thermals and they didn't
rise much above 3,500 ft., during the day.
Nevertheless, the Super Blanik was busy doing some 12
training flights. Phil Kerrigan had two flights and is progressing well along
towards solo. Robert Pelley had three flights and is doing well, followed by Jim
McCollum who had a back seat check flight. Then Jeff Schneider, after a check
flight following his honeymoon absence, spread his wings for two solo flights. I
gave Bob Goguen his Spring Check Flight, and last but not least, Wally Wilson
flew his guest on a passenger flight, and I did another flight where I
controlled the yaw string with rudders while Michel flew the glider with the
stick and did a good landing.
Many thanks to Gary Paradis who came out to help run the
flightline, and Simon Dufour who did the towing. Roberto Figueroa came out near
the end to add moral support and to help put the aircraft away.
Regards,
Douglas
