After a break of well over two years - I managed a short top - bottom flight this aft, I was bit anxious, I sat at the hill ready and waiting to takeoff for ages ...
landed fine but I did not have enough speed as I was on the downtubes/uprights from the word go - it was a short'sh hill no more than 200ft ...
the wing is my trusty WW S2 155.
It made think of the age old question as to best practice when landing ... how early do you transition upright? how far down/up the downtubes do you place your hands? for the life of me I can never muster enough energy to pull for speed on the downtubes, what I found works sometimes is to have one hand up and one down the basebar.
All in all I am pleased that I blew up the cobwebs and enjoyed the short flight.
fly safe.
