Weekend Report: Windy visitors
Saturday was a beautiful winter’s day; no wind, calm, not cold and perfect for doing the odd job.
Friedrich Moolman continued with getting experience in gliders. He is a power pilot who bought an Apis motorglider so he has to get experience in motorless flight.
A visiting (professional) pilot in a Cubby was taken for a ride by Rico in GWU. They managed to stay up at Vic Peak for an hour; the longest flight of the day. The daughter of the Cubby pilot went for her first soaring flight in HB and very likely we will see her more here since Daddy also thinks that gliding is the way to learn “the ropes in aviation”.
The Sterling’s did some touch and go’s in ZF while Nicky and Sven used ZF for some practice. A perfect day herefor.
Sunday was a blow out as forecasted. We measured 100 kph wind speed.
Still some six members turned up. Phil and Martin took two visitors up in ZF for a flip. Most likely they are now so scared that they will never go for flips again.
