Great Lee,

Just let me know when you are next operating and I'll pop over for a look.

It would be great to have you over, we are just waiting for the farmer to cut the grass.  He said he would do this in the next couple of weeks.

I'll let you know here when that's done then feel free to come over.

I can vouch for Lee's towing.  Excellent fun and huge emphasis on safety. The field is also superb.

Re: [TVHGC Members] New Club forming for Tow and PPG in Rutland

Hi Lee,

I knew you operated there, but thought it was just part of your school. I did not realise that you operated a general tow group.

Do you also have the capability to winch hang gliders?

Cheers

Re: Re: [TVHGC Members] New Club forming for Tow and PPG in Rutland

My bad sorry Ken . Must be the other way round needs an SI. So much the better as any tow rated pilot can become a Coach and current TVHGC coaches who are tow rated are already tow coaches, and any Coach can become a Senior Coach by attending a SC/SI course. The more there are the more likely a tow club is to succeed.

Needs a biggish field Arthur. No need for a ridge though. The rolling hills and big wheat fields south of  the Coombe Gibbet ridge generate loads of thermals as the xc hounds know and getting lobbed into them at 1000ft agl off a winch puts you in a good place to start from. Middle Wallop is a huge grass airfield and is ideal (weekends only when the military are not at work). If there is interest you need to get together and form a core group. To run as a BHPA club you need a Senior Coach (Tow) . This licence allows you to train winch operators and tow coaches. If that person is also a Senior Instructor (Tow) then the club can perform tow conversions of hill pilots too.  The Senior coach does not have to be present at every operation merely oversee and be responsible for its safe conduct according to BHPA regs. The other thing you need is a CAA cable licence for the field. Not difficult to arrange but means that the field is designated and marked on the airmap so all that takes time to put in place.

I do not intend to organise this but will happily respond with my winch and my licenses if an organising group forms to take this forward.
The reason I mention it now is that I have heard that Middle Wallop parascending group is no longer operating there so there may be an opportunity to ask for the use of that field at weekends.

I suppose the ridge at Coombe could be used for Easteries and Westerlies but it would need a different landowner agreement than we currently have and the direction is pretty limited. A huge open field giving all directions is by far the best.

I hope this isn't a heinous sin using this club's forum to announce another club, but on the basis that some members may be interested or know of others who could be interested, I hope I may be forgiven for asking that word be spread about the formation of a new Tow and PPG club at North Luffenham in Rutland.

Hopefully it's far enough away that it doesn't compete and more places to fly, particularly in a part of the country that's got no sites, is good news. See for yourself at:


Or PM me and I'll send more details

Fwd: Re: [TVHGC Members] New Club forming for Tow and PPG in Rutland



Tech manual - section 3, chapter 4, page 3.
Senior tow coach can run hill to tow conversion course.

The rolling hills and big wheat fields south of  the Coombe Gibbet ridge generate loads of thermals as the xc hounds know and getting lobbed into them at 1000ft agl off a winch puts you in a good place to start from. Middle Wallop is a huge grass airfield and is ideal (weekends only when the military are not at work). If there is interest you need to get together and form a core group. To run as a BHPA club you need a Senior Coach (Tow) . This licence allows you to train winch operators and tow coaches. If that person is also a Senior Instructor (Tow) then the club can perform tow conversions of hill pilots too.  The Senior coach does not have to be present at every operation merely oversee and be responsible for its safe conduct according to BHPA regs. The other thing you need is a CAA cable licence for the field. Not difficult to arrange but means that the field is designated and marked on the airmap so all that takes time to put in place.

I do not intend to organise this but will happily respond with my winch and my licenses if an organising group forms to take this forward.
The reason I mention it now is that I have heard that Middle Wallop parascending group is no longer operating there so there may be an opportunity to ask for the use of that field at weekends.

I suppose the ridge at Coombe could be used for Easteries and Westerlies but it would need a different landowner agreement than we currently have and the direction is pretty limited. A huge open field giving all directions is by far the best.
