Solos for Trask and Johnathan

Two flights each for Trask, Johnathan, Brett, Rick, and myself. One for Cornell and Super Dave

The day was overcast and the sun nearly really cooked up the thermals but conditions proved to be student-friendly.

We started the day early and the wind was crossing from the east on Main. Rick set up first and took a nice southeast cycle, controlling his glider well as he pushed out and over to the cairn where he reported smoother air. Charlie was next and missed seeing a compression knot during his speedy reverse inflation and came down hard on his elbow (fortunately, he's expected to make a full recovery).

I took the SWING Mistral5 for a test flight and the wind swung south and lightened so Rick sent Trask and Johnathan off. Cornell and Brett arrived and they both flew (it was Brett's first high flight since Nepal. Welcome back Brett!). Super Dave got about 30mins or so before I took Charlie's AIRWAVE Sport4 for a test flight, working the light lift over the lower clearcuts before spiralling down to help Johnathan and then Trask with their landings.

Tomorrow looks good...
