Not an inspiring start with low cloud and drizzle.
Get the fire going and lets talk about Macready, polar curves and speed to fly.
Sam and David tried out the principles on the simulator. We were beginning to wonder if Sam would ever get stick and rudder co-ordination when it was realised the rudder was working in reverse---never mind Sam we live and learn.
We then moved on to centring in thermals and more simulator practice.
Meanwhile Martin and Roger made the launchpoint steps safer with chicken wire, and sent back regular reports---these could be summarised as "its still raining or its about to rain"
Well we enjoyed ourselves anyway, and Roger got his bronze and cross country endorsement paperwork signed up.
