There was a very long list with some partial hangovers, but flying got going quite quickly with several Instructors joining in to help out the flying list.
First launch was the Mendip Falke which had flown in early to collect R37, Ian M aerotowed it to Mendip GC to help them out with their Open Day and evening flying this week. (One of their K13's is still being worked on after the major inspection.)
The clouds were fairly low at times but they were cycling every half hour, the ridge was sort of working at times. By lunchtime cloudbase had started to go up and by mid-afternoon it was quite soarable under 2500ft cloudbase.
Pete St 230 and SM completed the Club 100.
Thanks to Richard H and Mike H as they have now renovated the wiring rat's nest in the LPV and got the solar panel working to charge either battery without the previous interference. This enables us to operate more efficiently during the long summer days and evenings (the LPV still needs charging overnight though). - J&P
