Agnew's West

After checking that it was ok with the gamekeeper for Agnew's Hill West, I met Trevor Fisher who was on a taster day and Paul Cunningham, EP student, at Corr's Corner before lunchtime. Wind was westerly when we got to Agnew's and a light 8-10mph.

Although Paul had not flown for a while he had already done all the tasks for EP and was our for a refresher. He had two excellent flights from near the top of the hill before the wind swung to the NW, blowing along the hill.

With the wind picking up to 12-14mph at times, Trevor worked at ground handling with the Firebird F1rst L and the Firebird Trainer. He soon caught on to the reactions necessary for control and both he and Paul worked at perfecting their reverse launch techniques until the arrival of a very light drizzle.

            
Trevor concentrates!     

Trevor was hooked and signed up for an EP course. Paul did the EP exam and passed and is raring to go forward with the CPN course.
