Noel, we all have to start at a basic point that suits us and step on up from there! After the Easy Glider and Cularis it was a Graupner Discus 2B 4.5M for me, when Ben and I turned up at the then named JR Aerotow it was Len who was my mentor, he checked out the plane and gave me all sorts of tips on what and what not to do. Over the years I have gone to much lager planes such as my 7.8m Musger and Arcus. But I still get great tips and ideas from Len and many others at every event we travel to, and that's why we turn up, and when there is no event we spend our time on this forum because of the friendships and advise.

Keep up the good work and pass on the fun, one pilot at a time.

THANKS STEPHANE

Hi Len,
Despite terrible weather last year, I enjoyed my first aerotow event because Stephane, Jim and the others made me feel welcome flying my humble Easyglider. This year fellow RCCD club member, Bruce, joined me and flew the same Easy Glider - now pretty battle scarred - and I had progressed to the only slightly less humble Solius. We were treated the same as the guys flying the big stuff. I was also able to make the Easy Glider available to a couple of local (MRCA) guys for a few flights. Hopefully more interest piqued.
Now I just have to get into something larger !! Yes - "one pilot at a time", but the help and advice the guys share is great.
Here's more video - this time of Bruce and me. Gotta love the body English!

Sounds like a wonderful time was had by all, congratulations Stephane!!! You did it again.

I had the opportunity to talk with Jim this evening while he was heading home. He was glowing with excitement from another excellent event. Its so incredibly wonderful to hear about all the aerotows happening and all the new interest growing.
Keep up the good work and pass on the fun, one pilot at a time.

THANKS STEPHANE

As you can see Swiss1 the ASW20 has switch between many hands today
That's a winner!
Great with the motor, as when you have a traffic jam on landing path, you can go up and wait the proper moment to land safely

I had a great time today - thanks to all, but particularly to Stephane and Jim. I took a bunch of video, only some of which I have gone though so far, but here's a taste (switch to HD, if it does not default to HD). Fantastic weather!
