Busy start of the Lierse season
The first Lierstage of the season is on it, and what for one! With more than 60 starts in just a few days we were able to practice, learn and enjoy. The group was nice and varied: from curious newcomers to re -entrants who put their fly harness again after years. The wind was firmly present - not ideal for relaxed flights, but perfect for much learn about safety, timing and good landing layouts.
Back to Basics: Safe learn winches
Winters on the long track
After the first short flights it was time for the real thing: the long track. With the wind in the back (or rather: against the nose) we reached beautiful heights. But that also requires precision when landing. One pilot even made a foreign time a bit too far driven a recognizable beginner's error in strong wind. Fortunately it all belonged to the learn process, and it was discussed with humor and learn points during the B&B Riet dinner that had cooked a delicious meal for us.

From windless to wind force 4: Flying in all circumstances
On the last day we were ready at 6 am, with a magical sunrise with cranes and dew on the field. The first starts without wind asked to go through firmly, but that was another valuable addition to the lessons in strong winds. Around noon the wind attracted considerably, and we decided to stop safely at wind flies of 30 km/h.
Evaluation: a lot of learn D, even more looking forward to more
The final round brought many laughing moments (as that student did his helmet only after the starting procedure), but above all: enthusiasm. Everyone had made progress, regardless of the level, and want to continue. Because Lieren is more than a starting method It is a joint experience, technically challenging and just very fun.
learn winches too?
