phew! nice landing in the small field
Went up the chairliftthis morning. there had been a heavy thunderstorm the night before, and the cloud base was below take off. there was a nice south south easterly headwind so take off was relatively straight forward. i flew straight out over the town of sopot, it was a nice view. i flew over a football pitch. my main objective was to have a good landing after yesterdays dodgy one. i did a box landing with an extra s turn to lose enough height. i came into my final approach and made sure i fully flared to stall the glider at the right height and i hand a nice 2 step landing, followed by some applause from the guys! really pleased with the flight and good for my confidence. i also made sure today that i've been flying with more brake on, and using opposite brake slightly on the turns. zab explained next time i should try crabbing before final approach. it involves using brake and weight to turn in one direction the weight shift in other direction to make the glider fly side ways.
