Cool ! DAy one was excellent. got into cape town about 8am and was ground

handling my new wing by 10am ! By 12 noon the wind had picked up a bit...

enough to lift me 6 feet or so, and hang for a bit with Barry pushing me.



In the afternoon the wind picked up a bit, so we packed it in about 3pm.



Not before Id had the motor on my back for a bit though to get used to the

weight.



Tomorrow: more ground handling in the morning trying to get full control of

the canopy without running around all over the place... then if I make good

progress, maybe the first flight in the afternoon !
