Well i think evryone remembers that first flight and im the same! Its amazing!! Desperately need to get the wing and motor now tho so i can really get on my way!

Sounds like another great day simon!! Well done to all involved and i cannot wait for the next good weekend!!

Sounds like you had a great day mate

Have a great day all that attend

well done pete! It was great getting buzzed by you today!! 2 or 3 times!!

Cheers men!! The fosters tasted sweet tonight!! Absolutely shattered now mind!!

Wow thats put the pressure on me now!! Thanks simon, i put it down to the instructor!!! Edwardc, it was all last minute as we couldnt guarantee the weather so i just thought stuff it im driving down! Thankfully the wind died down!!

Cheers mate! This is me landing at sunset And the after flight celebration

Thankyou slim! Im very happy this evening and cant wait for colin to send me a couple of the pics he took!

Well what can i say..!!! The months of wondering what its like, the months of trudging up and down a field doing ground handling practice and in a space of a few seconds, i did it!!!! What a day, I met simon at the flagpole at around 9:30ish and it was blowing a gale! we chatted and had a cup of coffee and wondered if we would be able to do anything at all! We went and got his 12m wing and were met at the airfield by ian and co who were all as keen as me to crack on! Edmund turned up also a bit later looking for a first flight. By 2pm the wind was almost nil so edmund got strapped up and away he went!! A big congrats to edmund for getting that one in the bag! By now i was pleading with simon to let me strap the parajet to my back and get the practice in but he said he had seen enough and that i was going flying!! My asshole was going ten to the dozen but a short forward burst and a yell of full power on the headset and after 10-15 steps i had realised a dream.!! I was flying! I pulled my knees up and got comfy in my seat taking in the views aswell as trying to comprehend what i was actually doing1 The sight was amazing and i headed over to the white horse. Simon was telling me to get over the inversion but i think i got into the middle of it as it was a beautiful hazy sunny evening, the flight was so smooth. I then turned left and started heading back to the airfield. Simon guided me in and i picked my spot and went for it, i killed the motor and the peaceful desent was superb, i pulled the brakes to shoulder height which slowed me down nicely then applied full brake for what felt like a perfect landing on both feet, i walked a few paces and turned to lower the wing..! It felt like it was as perfect as it could of been and i want to thank simon for being great all day and also to all the others at the flagpole who i hope enjoyed it as much as i did!!! Now, wheres that fosters!!

Ill worry about getting me first flight in first!! That does sound like a good course though and one i would definately be intrested in at some stage

Ok I understand this is all work in process so i guess these things need to be bled in! It looks a great idea though and i fully support it!

My word you do have a weapon dont ya dave.... whos that guy in the passenger seat holding a torch?

This looks an excellent piece and i congratulate all involved. How will this affect, if it will at all, all those in the middle of training? Sorry if im being stupid?!!

Si!!! i would por favor??..!!

Try that vimeo aswell!!!

There is another site called VIMEO. This is just the same as youtube but has a much better quality and it can also be in hd! Some lads i know who flew with cameras on there rc planes uploaded to there and the quality is superb Here is a link to one of them http://www.vimeo.com/681082

Sounded like a great day

Ah ok... that explains that then!!

Why would a message go in the outbox? ive tried sending a message 3 times and each time its gone in the outbox as apposed to the sentbox?

Not fair?!!!

On risk was metioned a lot at splash

Will these be on youtube mate?

Never gonna say goodfly dont fly (guns and roses) fly me a river!

Cool They sound a great idea and i will be doing the same. Maybe its worth sticking a pic on the forum to share the idea?!!
