Landing
Landing is very straightforward. When landing in light winds, flare in the normal way from an altitude of around 2m. It
may sometimes help to take wraps on the brakes to make the flare more effective.
Strong-wind landings require a different technique. If you use the brakes to flare in a strong wind the wing tends to
convert this energy to height, which can be a problem. The best method is to take hold of the rear-risers at the maillons
just before landing, and collapse the canopy using these when you have landed. The glider will collapse very quickly
using this method.
After landing, the B-risers can also be used to collapse the canopy, although it is more difficult to control the
collapsed canopy on the ground with the B-risers.
