Rotor can be a lot of fun to ground handle in after you get the hang of handling in the smooth stuff. Your wing is always swinging around in the rotor, and it makes it more challenging to keep it up.

You're just experienced a lot. And the thing I got, is that I have much to learn yet :)

My students by the end of their first day have no problems with this sort of wind strength, as I indicated the KEY is the theory (and practice) taught in basic training, do NOT try to 'flight' the wing, instead simply let it fly up and YOU move under the (rising) wing..

No, the problem is that when you just move your weight like you do to touch the ground, wing makes suddent turn towards the ground.

? Move weight around ?
While I rotate my mass in the harness the 'weight' (in fact it is the load) acting on the glider via the risers does not alter..
My (or ANY) wing never does anything I have not told it to do :-)

My wing is too sensitive than. Because there is almost no chances to touch the ground liek you do. You just get smashed to the slope.

Sensitive?
This wing is a DHV 2/3, I can easily do these launches/flights with any rating of wing, however the 'higher' the rating the easier this is.

Hi the launch area is the top (flat & level) park at Arbroath, the zone from just behind the steep slope to about 150ft back is highly rotored (but safe) so is exclent for practice.

Murray hope you never damaged that fence mate using as a springboard,joking i know you didnt good how you done the lep without colapsing the wing...i love the look of that site though does look good for nice safe training,i guess only any good when its really windy.

It is only permited for tandem training these days, council restrictions came in around 2004/5 after a serious (wheelchair bound) KITE accident... this resulted (with other factors) in the council reviewing ALL sporting activities, paragliding was 'caught in the crossfire'... hence only a very few specific members are permited to fly here!
