Check the windsock at 09:30... You clearly landed with cross wind, seeing also how the right side of your wing went up first when starting the "flair".
The most easy landing field you ever can wish for , do not fly wingovers and high speed shows so close to touch down , I could tell the ending by just watching the video . Fly a downwind leg , left approach , checking your height and turn in for a strait landing . This maybe old school system is also helpful when you experience high volume traffic
@@willswingwilly1950 Thank you for your comment. I haven't had a chance to fly recently, so my sense of landing has gone haywire and I haven't been doing well, but I've been getting back to normal. Thank you for your advice, I'll keep it in mind.
Veo aquí dos cosas, precipitación para aterrizar, incluso con viento lateral, velocidades sin control...mucho o poco, su posición en el triángulo....muy baja. Si bien es cierto la ausencia de viento al aterrizar, debería usted entrar tras una aproximación correcta con velocidad suficiente, aprovechar el efecto "gradiente" y hacer correctamente la "pérdida"...no pasa nada...a todos nos ha sucedido.
Yep, it was clear from the windsock and from the direction that the other glider landed in that you were not landing pointing towards the wind. I have done far worse though... and I am not approaching 70!

The rope on the right is called a VG rope, which is used to adjust the wings. By the way, if you pull it, the wings will spread and the performance will improve, but the control will become heavier.
@@skyhighjp thanks 🙏👍 Very much appreciated. I fly paragliders and was wondering. Delta wings are really the king. Happy flying and always safe landings.
Kudos for posting! Good landings come from good approaches. This was neither, but you already know that. Initial positioning was too close to the LZ, leaving you to come in crosswind. We've all been there, and hopefully only damage was to your pride. I bet you don't make the same misjudgement again 😅
It looks like not enough speed on your approach. I float in ground effect longer in a Falcon 3 than you do in this video. With more speed, you should have more controllability. You were already on the right side of the control frame when you got into ground effect.
@@skyhighjp "Distorted senses"?! If a pro like you has trouble maintaining your skill, I'm screwed. I'm also 69, going on 70 and just starting training again. I flew back in the 70s ...but not at all for the last 45 years. Still, I want to soar again for a few years before I give in to old age. Wish me luck, Bro!

It's far from a perfect landing. Is it wrong to set the flight here by lowering the spa log and rod to increase speed? I think I'll put it back next time.

Thank you for your advice.
I will retrain based on your advice.
I look forward to working with you.
I notice you loose all the VG...I like to land with 1/4 vg on...I think I feel better the moment the glider need the final stall.Cheers Ago
Thank you for taking the time to see what I am doing. Thank you for your advice regarding LD, I understand that 1/4 VG is on.

I like your harness , what brand is it?
Thank you for your comment.
Made in the USA. High Energy.
I had the Lightning added as an option.
@@skyhighjp Betty never made a tracer with side mounted chutte , did someone else redesign it after she retired? It looks odd for a tracer

Gracias por tu consejo. Volveré a capacitarme según tus consejos. Espero con interes trabajar con usted.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.....
Quick question.
During flight, you pulled a rope on your right hand side.
What does it do????
The rope on the right is called a VG rope, which is used to adjust the wings. By the way, if you pull it, the wings will spread and the performance will improve, but the control will become heavier.

I also feel like my senses are becoming a little distorted as I approach 70, but I will continue to work hard.

No such thing as a "Failure to land."
Totally unprofessional unstabilised grandstanding.
