Harry Potts has also returned for three weeks, and needs a flight with an instructor to get rid of the cobwebs!
To our surprise, we were able to soar on the first Puchatek flight despite the day seeming completely grey and still. Peter Robinson was soon at home in the Puchatek, and was able to get orientated with the area. Despite only having done winch launching before in a K13 he handled the aerotow well, and made a passable attempt at the landing. He has not actually done any landings before, as his home aerodrome gets rather busy and the instructor has always had to take over to avoid obstacles of one sort or another.
We had two more circuits and then the showers moved in. We just got the glider away before getting soaked!
Later in the afternoon, we had another attempt at flying. This time we got one flight in before the storm just got too close. Boris thinks I am mad! He took this picture while towing us up!
Peter managed to double his accumulated air time in these four flights!
There has been some activity on the E-Tug, and some parts replaced. It seems to be running OK at the moment, but Phil Anderton is going to do some trials when the weather permits
