Hot teaching day at Taylors on Sunday

Post by silverwings »

I had 4 first timers, a second timer and a hang 1 3/4 (Bob) at Taylors. Grass in the landing area is high in most areas so spent quite a bit of time using the club's walk behind tractor/bush hog mowing a run way at the bottom of the hill for some ground running practice. With Bobs help we got a fair size area mowed for some low hill flight attempts. Students seemed to have a fun time in the exteme heat and calm to cross conditions (forecaster's wrong again about the south winds). The Taylors are starting to do some mowing but who knows when they will get to the area we use. The area we mowed is only a very small portion and it took couple of hours. Dont you just love hot conditions, calm or crossing wind, and high grass?
