More PPG training
With an excellent forecast we were able to work from 7:30am - 9:30pm, getting the ground school and a large amount of ground handling practice. It was a long day. We headed out to a bar afterwards, and ate wings (what else?!)... then I went clubbing..

Complete control
Saed succeeds!
So does Doron

Andre sets up a second trike, so that Doron and Saed can both practice taxxing

But, first we need to polish up those forward inflations. Saed shows us how pushing forward on the As can collapse the wing
