First SIV Flight

I had my first SIV course flight yesterday :)

There were meant to be two flights yesterday but at 11am, the top of the mountain dissapeared into cloud and we spent the afternoon on top of the mountain waiting for the clouds to lift...

Anyway, the first flight was great fun.

I did asymetric collapses, where you collapse somewhere between a third and a half of the glider and learn to keep it flying straight and turning left or right.
Symetric collapses, where you collapse the front of the glider just to see what it feels like :)
Then repeat the same while flying at maximum speed (speed system)
Finishing up with a couple of nice spiral dives.

The second flight was to include full stalls, but hopefully the weather will be great this morning and I will get them in this morning!

That is about it from Paraglider central
