Very nice uphill landing! Good airspeed and timing, Where we fly in northern Sweden there are often not many acceptable outlanding fields, and hardly any level ones...
Nice, good field selection. I would personally keep airbrakes on, your touch down was at 100km/h which is well above stall speed, otherwise good outlanding:)
Thank you - I would have liked to do that too, but my concerns were a) that the field was sloping upwards in the first half, hence I would like to have excess speed for the pull up, not stalling it into the side of the field and b) the field sloped steeply downwards towards the lake at the end of the second half, hence I did not at all want to overshoot it and therefore forced it down before the top! :-)
Okay I'll be a dick, first he doesn't have 'airbrakes' they are spoilers (yea I know the great pilots all call them airbrakes and spoilers are old fashion technically correct glider term) 2nd, Wow, No Utility Lines? Thank God.
@@soaruk3697 They are cut into the most perfect lift generating part of the airfoil. Why In God's Name cut into a beautiful work of art that is scientifically and mathematically engineered to extreme tolerances for the greatest most efficient lifting surface man can produce......To.....Slow You Down? You could call them 'angle of attack generators' and be much more accurate. They SPOIL the LIFT. There really is no need to slow a glider down. You just need to Get Down.
