Not the best midsummer weather, but still 2 fun and very productive days flying.
Monday - We made good use of the weather with Phil Hoy having 3 flights and course pilot Charlie S accumulating 6 flights before the rain stopped play around 2:45pm. Out flying the Astir were Martin L, Brent S and Gail J. Others at the club helping included Phil Z, John R and Dave G, with John D and John M turning up later and sitting in on the Stalling/Spinning Lecture/Discussion during the couple of hours we lost due to the rain.

Tuesday - Another good training day with Richard A getting in a couple of flights this morning giving Charlie a break after our A/T for stall/spin revision (thanks to Dave G for towing early). In the end Charlie clocked up 4 training flights and 5 solos, including a 25 minute solo soaring flight from his final winch launch. John R also managed quarter of an hour on his hangar flight. Thanks to Martin L and Phil Z for helping out and Kath for 2 days excellent winch launching.
Derek W returns for the rest of this week and mid-week cover next week.
