Flight #120

18 May 2024 • Dockweiler • Hang I - Beginner

My 32nd day of flying at Dockweiler. Had around 10 flights. That puts me at about 310+ flights at the beach. That makes about 333+ foot launch flights in total. The winds were around 5mph to 8mph all day. My launches and landings were all great on the Falcon 170. I realized what it means to fly the glider on landing, as well as launch. I had one landing where the wind was a little cross and the glider started to turn, but I kept on running straight and just let the aircraft yaw to the right, instead of fighting it. Worked beautifully. Kept the wings level and all was good.
