True, not a great landing though. I can do better! Glad it all was ok, could have been ugly.

You know what they say, Any landing you can walk away from, without broken downtubes, is a good landing.
@MikeBomstad5 ай бұрын
@BrilliantDesignOnline true enough. But I know I can do better. don't want to get complacent 😉

Sometime happens....no damages..not so smart but good save...last saturday I damage a downtube because during the final stall I touch the corn field with my left wingtip...next day I land like a prof...👋

Thanks. Yes it happens. Ahh bummer. Glad it was only a DT. Really makes you focus on the next landing. Keep up the great flying!

Not a bad slide-in! You've likely thought about this, but perhaps your leg loops are too long, or some other harness adjustments are preventing you from being positioned a bit higher in the control frame when upright. You appear to be quite low in the frame. Also, transitioning both hands to the DT's before trim condition is always going to pop the glider up, loosing precious airspeed. Writing this is merely the goal..... I have my 'landing moments' as well.🤣
@MikeBomstad3 ай бұрын
Hi, Thanks. It was a bit of odd air there. The speed I was at I should have been flying at least 30" further. I was getting ready to run it out as I do, and it settled. Leg loops are as tight as I can tolerate. Hands were low as I wasn't planning on flaring yet :-) Thanks for the comment and watching

Is it easier to land with atos?
@MikeBomstad5 ай бұрын
It depends on conditions. I focus more when landing the Atos, its less forgiving. It doesn't get out of shape as easy though. Either one done wrong ends the same 😉
