A break in the weather

Posted on May 15, 2012 in Dean Eldridge   

Despite the recent chilly, wet and windy weather, we’ve still managed to find mornings or afternoons favourable for conducting ground training and getting people in the air safely. Saturday morning we had Charlie Boorman down for his second training session and is now ready to take to the skies on his next trip down to see us. Phil Jennings also arrived on Saturday and brought some great weather with him so, with some local pilots and some of the Parajet crew we had around 10 Parajet pilots together zooming around the Dorset countryside in the evening before all heading to the pub!

Phil and I managed some time to perfect some advanced moves in preparation for demonstrations in the summer including syncro-spirals and wing-walking! Watch out when we have the ribbons and smoke systems going!! Have been spending all my time on my prototype Zenith and just love it more and more with every flight I make on it. Can’t wait for my new anodised one to come off the production line so I can fit my sparkly new Polini 200 to it. Then we’ll be rocking!!

Check out this video filmed and edited by David, an ex-student of mine who’s now beautifully flown the nest!
