Hang Gliding Refresher Course Photos, Stanwell Tops, Sydney

Tag:

Adam called us from Sydney on Thursday saying that he hadn't flown a hang glider for four years. -He had just 5 hours of airtime in his logbook.
Later that day, we had him doing some dune training at Hill 60 in Port Kembla, along with a tandem flight.
The next day we flew tandem from Bald Hill, Stanwell Tops and then SOLO-ed him twice!

Checking the windsock:

Take your time, "Feeling" the Air: Speed, Direction, Smooth? Clean Airflow?

The Launch: Smooth transition while leaning forward. I'm assisting a bit, as he's let the nose up, just slightly.

With some radio assistance, Adam soared Bald Hill two more times on Saturday racking UP some airtime, and nailing his landings...
