mike1714 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Its been a bit quiet on the Kent side of things, I am assuming that was down to bad weather. Well that has gone now and it can only get better?!! Had my second flight out of my field (now dry) was going to attempt to fly out to circa QE2 bridge and have a good full on 2 hour flight but decided on an hour as it was mid day and the wind was changing direction a lot. All in all went well apart from a reverse launch that I almost lost but recovered and took off. The trimmers work well now that I have taken the slack out of them. Lets hope this year is a good one. The French trip will be a good start to the year for me! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjc Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hi Mike, do you fly from a field out the back of Brands Hatch? My brother saw some one setting up there a few weeks ago when he went to look at a new bike. Regards Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the look of the weather it does'nt look like I'm going to get any more flight time before we go to France.... I'll have to settle for getting as much ground handling practise as I can in the next couple of weeks... Neil.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather will play ball with us when we're out there.....I know it will (the ever optimist - thats me!!) I bet you cant wait to really get stuck into it? Not long now. Ground handling is what i do when I cant fly.......you just cant never get enough of it!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother saw some one setting up there a few weeks ago when he went to look at a new bike.Regards Fred Fred, Lets say I once tried to set up but security told me Jonathan Palmer flies in and out on a regular basis and so I would be a hazard of sorts? They have a lovely grass car parking area (its massive) and only used by the dog walking fraternity - shame! It just so happens that Simon taught someone who will be flying out of there................................I wonder if it was him? Hmmmm Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
