The airfield is drying out with not much rain for the last few days, but low cloud is still a problem. So some valuable training in the simulator was useful. JB took the opportunity to go through a lot of exercises in the sim with various members - testing trimming, turning, stalls, spins, circuits, basic aerobatics, thermal and ridge lift practice at North Hill.
Final for Nympsfield (Stewart Henshall)
He asked if it was possible to start a flight at Nympsfield - it was duly arranged. JB expertly guided Connor along the ridge to Bath racecourse and back - all flown at realistic heights in convincing ridge lift conditions.
Final at North Hill (Stewart Henshall)
Also there was a a long session of launch failures. Multiple options were discussed and flown on a critical height Aerotow failure to the East - All 6 in the room found the exercise beneficial.
And then there were some simulated winch launch failures… - Stewart Henshall
And well done Stewart for a great run in the Condor World Series despite work meaning he missed a couple of the races.
