2009 US National Team members Dustin Martin and Jeff O'Brien along with Kevin Carter will host a five day flying clinic at Quest Air March 26-30. This event immediately precedes Wills Wing Demo Days at Wallaby Ranch, and is a great opportunity to start the season with a quantum leap in proficiency.

The scope of the clinic will be broad and appropriate for pilots of all skill level. There will be a maximum of four pilots per instructor to ensure an intense amount of direct guidance. Morning discussions on various flying topics will be followed by an afternoon in the air under direct radio instruction. Evening debrief sessions will follow flying. Sun up to sun down instruction.

Topics will cover, and not be limited to:

Gear maintenance, safety, and tuning.
Thermaling techniques and strategy.
Landing considerations at the LZ and out landings.
Cross Country skills and tactics.
GPS and instrument use.
Weather assessment.

Required equipment (in addition to flying equipment): 2 meter radio, headset, GPS.

Cost is $100 per day + tows, $500 for the event. Proceeds will go directly to instructor travel expenses for the World Championships in Laragne, France.
