JohnG Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Don't know if I'm hitting a midlife crisis but some how I have been getting the urge to have a crack at flying one of these amazing machines! YouTube videos getting me hooked. I'm 50 in April am I too old! Will need some training any recommendations would be great. I'm in Norwich happy to travel for training any info appreciated.

admin (Simon W) Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 You may be pleased to know that we are currently teaching a 74 year old! (and he is flying!) @Chilly is in your neck of the woods, I am not sure what course he currently teaches (if any) I think he was taking a break from it last year but worth contacting as a starting point.

kiwi k Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Mr G, be very careful i know you've about to acquire a ground handling wing + harness, only thing i'd say is don't practice until you've been to see mike as you might have some bad habits, and it will not help your progress as he'll have to stop you from making those bad habits, and yes i might be talking from experience . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Getting the ground handling setup is just my way of getting prepared then as soon as mikes available for a few hours and the weather is fair I'll get some tuition booked then I can practise practise practise what mike teaches me until I'm ready for the next lesson. ?
