Man... being a newly h2 pilot and watching this makes me feel a lot better about some of the landings I've had!

Flew HG there many years ago , launch is very intimadating but actually very forgiving, we used to land right beside D Dutchman Dairy for their famous ice cream.

My buddies and I flew this site a lot from 1979 till late eighties. Old gliders like Olympus and up condors and mj6 etc. Great launch except in the winter when it usually blew downwind on launch. So many great memories there. Really cool to run across this video and know somebody’s still flying there Thanks

The ground effect extends your glide and makes it hard without spoilers.

Most of these bad landings were caused by having their hands too low on the down tubes to give a good flare. If they get their hands at least halfway up the down tubes they can flare properly and have a nice landing.

Nice video presentation! It would be great if they could land properly but, on the other hand, it is an educational video on landings as well. I like the flying site.

Это ошибка инструкторов. Отработка посадки проводится из малых склонов десятки и сотни раз (с колёсами). Замечаний много.Например, при посадке на воду, производят парашютирование, а ещё у Вас песок, растительность, контр склоны и так далее.

theres nothing wrong with flying with wheels. a lot of the pilots i see laughing at others for flying with wheels are the same ones whacking in and cracking their head on their keel. ditch the wheels if you want or if you really need the drag reduction but theres no need to be dismissive of safety gear. to me its like saying "why wear a helmet, just dont crash"

For the same reason you wear a helmet while wearing a bicycle. Sometimes you can hit something really hard, even though you're not going very fast. Stuff happens.
