Technical Training in Flyer`s Paradise

Take off on the top of the Babadag on 1.900 metres sealevel, flying out to the Lagoon, with 1.600 metres altitude. Training, training, training and finally a landing at the wonderful sand beach of Ölüdeniz. Paradisiacal conditions for a Technical Training with MadMikeKüng.

The first important point was to adjust the harnesses of the students. Basic requirement for perfect technical fliying.

Then the most dangerous part of every Ölüdeniz trip followed: the transfer up to the Babadag on a narrow-gauged dirt road. On the left and on the right side steep rugged rocks.

Arrived at the take off the starting and flying area has been checked. Some
warm-up exercises, last manoeuvre instructions and then: go!

Mike demonstrated how to fly and the other pilots tried to emulate.
Wing Over, Deep Spirals, SATs, Dynamic SATs, Fullstalls, Helicopter,
Twister and Fly Backs

Immer beobachtet von Mikes analytischem Auge, den Fliegerkollegen
und der Kamera. Nach jeder Landung gab es konstruktive Manöverkritik.

Mike always kept his analytical eye on the students. The team mates and
the video camera was strictly observing too. After every landing Mike gave constructive manoeuvre comments to every pilot. After an intensive four
days training all pilots attained their goal. They all made a huge step forward.

The final highlight was a flight into the lonely Butterfly Valley. For beaching,
relaxing, eating, talking, laughing.

 

To be continued! Next year in Ölüdeniz…
