It was a bright start at North Hill today, but gradually the showers approached and forced us to take refuge and have an early lunch.
After the showers had cleared, flying was once again resumed. I was lucky enough to have two flights in the K13 and one low launch failure with JB, who let me fly solo in the K13. JB asked me what my weight was and I said 142 pounds. He said that I better check, so I did and I was exactly 142 pounds. (Why did JB suspect that a girl wouldn't know her weight?)
Well done Ellie for converting to K13 and collecting some wild flowers at the end of the airfield (JB) |
Andy Williams also soloed for the first time on a winch launch. So all in all it has been a very successful day. - Ellie Carter
