Reserve Repack

If everything else fails a well packed reserve that you understand how to throw is often the only chance you have left, and they also need to be repacked regularly. As the club appreciates the importance of this, we are organising a reserve repack on Sunday, January 30th, in return for a donation to the air ambulance from attendees.

The repack will take place at:

Winterstoke Hundred Academy
Beaufighter Road
Weston-Super-Mare
BS24 8EE

(It's right next door to the Helicopter Museum.)

If you would like to attend the repack, please let me know which of the following slots would best suit you:

10:30 - 12:30
12:30 - 14:30
14:30 - 16:30

If you have a manual for your reserve it would also be good to bring this along.

Ground Handling

Also, when spring thermals are unleashed, particularly after a long winter layoff, they can easily rip through your rusty piloting skills, so it's important to get some time under your wing, and I can think of no better way to gain the experience we need to keep us safe in the air than ground handling. Subject to weather conditions and sufficient interest, we will therefore be running some ground handling exercises - and maybe a competition - either before or after the repack.
