That was the strongest wind I ever landed in...probably around 60 km/h gusts, 15-20 km/h backwards speed...

  • Marlen you're right that would have been the safest solution with another harness, but was completely wrapped in with cockpit etc.

    Saadic: it was too turbulent and i decided it is the best way to come in. I had to stay over the road there were rocks and a power line so I wanted to make sure that I have complete control. With big ears and speed it would have been harder to adjust my trajectory.

  • I think shrinking the glider with big ear would help.

  • @UberLifeTroll You are so full of hate asshole, what are you doing here?

  • NIGGERS CAN'T FLY BECAUSE SHARKS THINK IT'S WHALE SHIT

  • Good one... at least you had good control when the wing is on the floor.

  • PQP... QUE VENTACA !!!

  • Hi Pal, what the size of your glider? Congratulations.

  • VENTURY

  • wow...great job!!!

    

  • @BriMacsFly

    Looks like he never touched the speed system at all. 25% bar and he would have came strait down. Hmmm?  Pal just might be a "Drama Queen".

  • nice one pal, had the same thing from a gust front once, nerve racking stuff. happy xmas and hope we catch up again one day. Lloyd
