Hi Daji, Namaste

Yesterday its my first solo flying in G6 Paramotor. Daji at first in morning its more wind, So Instructor (Mangesh & Eric) were thinking whether they give a launch from winch or give free launch to me. At last final decision is that I get free launch.
My whole heartbeat is going fast but Im ready. At first Instructor ( Mangesh & Joy ) help me to raise the wings and say I gradually press throttle and go – go -go power -power -power and wow ! With in few step i was in air.
In my first circuit (around the ground) I’m not able to sit on harness properly, I feel uncomfortable while flying but when in my 2nd circuit I decide to adjust my harness, now I really feel good its now to easy to flying and whole body feel well and comfortable now I think In this position I can fly hours.
After Completion of 2^nd circuit I have to land and I make approach and forwarding for landing. In my flight the radio stop working so I not able to hear Instructor guide what ever I do. I land safely and turn back side to control wing I control it and I pull my both brakes, with wind it quite difficult to collapse the wings and I have to run toward wing while collapsing at last the one gust of wind come and drag me with wings at that time I cant control my self and I fall with motor and get My first wound in my knee! Its good I am happy at all every fall give me to learn. (If I ran faster there I never fall) As a result the cage of motor also gets little bends inside. The winds are not in good condition so we can’t try next launch & we pack up.

Daji as a wind condition I request to CI (Eric) pls from tomorrow we came early in the morning around 6 am, so I get little more time to fly and good wind condition for flying.

Today morning about 6.45am we complete all checks and ready for flying.
I was in more confidence and thought today I fly well and gain more height and enjoy flying more. We are ready for launch they (Instructor) help me for raising wings go-go-go power –power …. bump! Sound came and I cut throttle kill motor. I fall down with my knees. We see the propeller hit the cage net were the cage bends inside Yesterday. Its happen because the cage already bends and while I take run for takeoff with little bends my body at that time the raiser press cage more closer to propeller and get contact with net. They have no spare propeller at that time and we have to pack up.

Daji for few min I stand alone and think about my mission and trg. From my PM1 trg I get only one and half hrs for dry motor handling and 20 min solo flying. Today its Nil. And I have only 01 days left (27/06/2009). I also have to obey good Army orders which I get from my seniors, and I have to move in 27 noon.
I am sure I can’t get more then 1 hrs flying on 27 and if the weather is in good condition. At last I decide to give my trg break and kept it pending for next session. I hope I get more attention and more time (about 5hrs to 6 hrs flying) from Instructors in session and I get more good knowledge of flying and about paramotors. I ask these things with Instructor and he is also agreeing for that.

Today I see the flyings of my instructor (Eric) He flying well. And show His skill of flying and landing with power.
I hope I am sure one day I (MH) also flying Like Eric.
