Greg Dennis came down from Mt Isa for a second fix for the season. Greg had no problem getting used to winch launching again. Al Giles was around and drove the winch for Gregs first two flights, with John as wing man. Then I drove the winch and launched Al in his Jantar and Greg solo in the Grob. Both got away first launch, and Al did a good cross country flight - cloudbase around 8500 feet, but lower further west.
Today I launched Greg again in the LS7 - once again he got away first launch. The sky looked fantastic during the middle of the day, even though it was a bit overcast first thing.
Ken Flower gave John Clark, Al Giles and I a briefing on flying motor gliders, and later flew with Al and John in his Grob 109. Later John Clark made his first self launch in his new DG808. Well done John!
Juho is coming back tomorrow (Wednesday) and will be towing for our Regatta. We have to organise to get Brad Edward's Pawnee and our Callair back from Arimidale in the next couple of days.
Club gliders are not all booked for the regatta, so they will be available for non competition pilots to fly over the holiday - weather is still good!
