I hope all of you had a very good new year, and that you have all recovered from copious amounts of alcohol, i almost have.
It’s that time, where we have to all decide what we want out of gliding this year. Do you want to start flying more x-country? fancy doing a comp? how about visiting a wave site? or just another club that isn’t restricted by the sea? or is it the year Russ flies to France ( yeah right!)
I want to help people direct this year the way they want, not just club members, but any instructors aswell. We have the new glass single seater coming, so x-country will be easily available, and its all about being ready. So, what do you need? have you got a chart? where are you going? how do you read the weather? how do you know how fast to fly? what if you get low? your first field landing? Think about these things now, come the morning of that 50km day, you do NOT want to be rushing around.
For any ideas you have, or thoughts, or advice you want, just come find me and i’m happy to sit down with you and guide you through, making this year, YOUR year.
Matt
P.s. went to aboyne over the New Year, got to 3600′…… on tow, then fell out the sky…no wave, but the views were incredible!
