I agree with landing uphill eventually seeming easier because the flare and the gradient work to your advantage. Very nice video mate! We don't have such slopes here in Virginia US :)
All very well executed. True, it's mostly autumn conditions, but nonetheless, one can just not do this any better. I am a little surprised that the pilot can afford to hold the uprights as low as this (1/4 of the upright) - and still never run out of flare !
Aeros Combat GT is interesting glider. I can also land nicely while I'm holding uprights very low. Actually I find flare window is quite large on that glider. Here is the video: th-cam.com/video/PcHihPc4TVI/w-d-xo.html
Great examples ! Thanks for sharing. Been so long since I've had to do one. Most difficult was the first and getting used to pulling in speed to fly at the hill.
Excuse me but the VG is at what position?is there any video from a second person and not in first person?so we can see better from another point of view
Interesting issue, and well explained. There is one thing I am missing though,. It would be nice to have the landing scenes seen from the ground, from the side. The thing is that seen by a cámara attached to the keel, the up slope is not appreciated,. It actually looks like a normal flat ground landing.
Had that happen to me on a snivelling small hill in England, took off in a sink cycle, as i approached the side of the hill to land up slope, as described brilliantly and executed above. The thermal lifted me up and forward, i merely turned away and 10 mins later was on my way to cloud base. If you have airspeed you can just turn out from the hill. Even with a thermal behind you would just loose momentum and run it off.
Eines der besten Videos, das jemals in der Szene bei TH-cam veröffentlicht wurde. Vielen Dank dafür!
Very nice video and explanation! This really helps out with my progression 🙌😁 You have mastered the uphill landing 👌
At 2:26 you really dove down while holding the uprights! The tip about practicing with uprights in mid flight is brilliant!

Perfect. You are a true master of this!
You make it look soo easy :-) Great video.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing with us.

Very nice! I need to come visit and do this lots :)
Really nice tutorial. Today I ride a motorcycle named XR, but i have som XC experience in hang gliders in a previous life :-)
Awesome! Great landings, great tutorial. Thanks :)
excelent video! Thanks for making the effort
Thanks! That was very well explained and demonstrated.
Really useful and reassuring. Thanks!
Well done 😎

Thank you Bänzli! Very useful video.
Belle démonstration ....

wow.. a lot of skill shown here
Love the outro too!
Looks easy with flat conditions. Try it in thermal conditions and you are starting to roll the dice
Here's one on a thermal day with a strong cross-slope wind.

Be nice to see this from a third person (on the ground) side view. Will have to search your videos for this
Great!
fly safe every guys :)
Good maneuver , not for beginners
wow! super!
WOW
WOW!
Could be useful to see from a spectator ground point of view. Anyway thank you
Ok, very nice.... Now, do the same with 25/30 kmh tailwind, that is more realistic situation then null wind ;)
Here's one on a thermal day with a strong (25 kph) cross-slope wind.
