Another day of wall to wall hill fog across the airfield but the Thursday regulars turned up en-mass for some Bronze lectures. We started off with the weather (again) followed by Principles of flight using a tailless K21 model. Pete St has taken the model K21 away to repair the broken fuselage....... now how did that ground-loop happen in the Clubhouse?
After lunch, well done to Pete B who successfully completed his Bronze exam, and we did a 'glider fitting' for a potential new member, - can you see the problem that 6ft 7ins gives.....
No good in a K21...... |
But Tim fitted in the DG505 comfortably and is looking forward to his Trial lesson.
Ian has started work on the Pawnee Airworthiness Directive (AD) and has made some progress already.
