Thanks for asking! Don't do it by your own. Even groundhandling of the A wing like this could be very dangerous if not fatal, especially during middle of the day. Take lessons with instructor and do as much groundhandling as possible in order to feel and understand the glider. I've practiced by my own groundhandling only with a small training wing BGD Seed. It gave me very useful 50+ hrs of experience over the year. Nevertheless, when I started lessons with instructor and switched to a bigger 'real' glider I was scared by its huge dragging power comparing to the Seed. I was glad to have an instructor by my side.
Why you didn't used forward takeoff when there are no winds?
I was not confident yet at that time with this wing. I started to practice it later.
Hey im the first to comment wee... I just bought a wing and planning to learn on my own with RUclips videos. Any advice?
