All very well executed. True, it's mostly autumn conditions, but nonetheless, one can just not do this any better. I am a little surprised that the pilot can afford to hold the uprights as low as this (1/4 of the upright) - and still never run out of flare !
Aeros Combat GT is interesting glider. I can also land nicely while I'm holding uprights very low. Actually I find flare window is quite large on that glider. Here is the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PcHihPc4TVI.html
Great examples ! Thanks for sharing. Been so long since I've had to do one. Most difficult was the first and getting used to pulling in speed to fly at the hill.
I agree with landing uphill eventually seeming easier because the flare and the gradient work to your advantage. Very nice video mate! We don't have such slopes here in Virginia US :)
Excuse me but the VG is at what position?is there any video from a second person and not in first person?so we can see better from another point of view
Interesting issue, and well explained. There is one thing I am missing though,. It would be nice to have the landing scenes seen from the ground, from the side. The thing is that seen by a cámara attached to the keel, the up slope is not appreciated,. It actually looks like a normal flat ground landing.
Had that happen to me on a snivelling small hill in England, took off in a sink cycle, as i approached the side of the hill to land up slope, as described brilliantly and executed above. The thermal lifted me up and forward, i merely turned away and 10 mins later was on my way to cloud base. If you have airspeed you can just turn out from the hill. Even with a thermal behind you would just loose momentum and run it off.
