Whacks and micro-conditions in xc fields

[deveil]

Landing a hang glider kinda sucks, doesn't it?

what? you don't like to hunt barr ? then-what-you-doin'-huntin'-barr?
them things'll Eat you, you know!
you Best be getting Your-self an Attee-Toode.
at least by the time you're doing your downwind leg!

you look down at that bear, i mean barr, and you Better be looking Forward to eating that bear !

you tell yourself you just La-OVE to eat bear!
hell! you-don't-even-Need-no-stinkin-gun!
you gonna bare-knuckle-wrastle-eye-gouge that bear - cause that's Just how badd ass you is and cause it tastes better that way!

. . . come end of day, come dinner time - you want to be the one asking for second helpings.
'cause. . . you. just. love. to eat. Bear.

Rich B, when Tom talked about a no step flair I'm pretty sure he was talking about the technique. If you use the same aggressive flair in moderate downwind conditions that would yield a perfect no-step landing in zero wind, you will usually have a good landing in spite of the fact that it's downwind, provided that you are prepared to run some.
