Hang glider Landings, landing compilation, Spring Meeting Friuli Venezia Giulia Trophy 2018, drag chute, Not all landings were from competitors. Manfred Ruhmer landing swift,
Looking at the windsock it seems to be nil wind, maybe even tailwind at times. This is a good average of how difficult even these modern competition gliders are to land with grace. Yes, some bad form or maybe fatigue going on, but if you get tail wind on start or landing, you are basically fu**ed. If you stick it, you are determined, lucky and/or skilled. I own a LaMouette Topless and a WW T2. The Topless lands fast with a rather narrow flare window (the timing when you push the nose up and stall the glider at the end). The T2 is easier. Beginner and intermediate wings are much more relaxed. If you fly on the coast, you have a steady breeze. Easy.
wind sock is showing 3knts at 1:43 and showing 7knts at 7:10 . if you can carry your aircraft over your should 7knts is not an unsubstantial amount of wind.
