ground handling tonoght

Post by gary stenhouse »

well the beuty with light weight equipment means going over the field for half an hour a lot of fun. with the altirando and the ibex my total weight package is only 5.8kg and boy is it fun to ground handle. even in gusty winds you can keep it all under control without getting dragged from here to kingdom come. but above all it keeps you on top of the game and its a lot of fun. it is surprising how rusty you become in ground handling when you our not getting out as much, and after been at babadag you see hw poor some people our, and from what i seen out there when you get it wrong it can get you hurt seriously. So top tip of the week is get out there on the field and get yourself familier with your wing and the next time you get to the hill you will look forward to taken off instead of been scared.
