Mt Yamaska 2011 - hang gliding: 6th flight

This was the 6th hang gliding flight of my training course at Distance Vol Libre, St-Paul d'Abbotsford (Quebec, Canada). All my gratitude goes to the very friendly and competent instructor team.

It was my first time soaring along the mountain ridge. As I was more worried about keeping up speed as a safety marge, I wasn't really able to take full advantage of the wind lift. I needed two more flights to be more confident and climb up.

As for the landing, my hands were not up enough on the control bar legs to have an efficient flair. I also slightly drifted to the right.
