Flight #79
22 June 2023 • Dockweiler • Hang I - Beginner
My ninth day of flying at Dockweiler and my third flights on the Falcon 2 195. Officially got my Hang I today! Very cool! I only had one sloppy launch and it was because I was undercontrolling the glider. Very high winds this day. Was around 10MPH steady and gusting to 11MPH or so. Good news is, I was a lot better at controlling the glider, despite the higher winds. Andy taught me to do "touch and go" landings, which sets me up for a good flair. He also had be try a 45 degree flight. That went pretty well too. All in all, a very fun day! Still had around 10 flights. That puts me at about 90+ flights at the beach.
