Above left is a photo of Petes's Paddock. It was very scenic, on top of a hill.
The photo above and to the right shows why he couldn't land in the valley - Slovakian style haystacks, everywhere.
Yesterday the 3 new guys had shakedown flights. Tobi discovered that his parachute didn't fit, Mike blew a fuse on his Flarm, and Allan got his PDA talking eventually. The Club Class pilots did a 2.5hr AAT. Pete did a reasonable distance slowly into wind and made it into Poland before turning for home, and landing.
The retrieve was uneventful and quite scenic, with many tractors, a stork sitting on a chimney, and a couple of deer.
The guys are all flying today, they launched at 11.30am. It looks like a very nice day but there is high cloud and strong winds predicted for 3pm so they aren't going too far away. The Argentinian team have arrived and are busy rigging and fettling their gliders.
