Full Stall Fail

[krista]

So thanks to Matt Ingram for converting my Annecy SIV files to something that is actually playable.

Here's a video of my botched up full stall on my new glider. On my old glider, I was able to practice 10 full stalls without incident.

I held onto the brakes too long and didn't reinflate the glider fast enough. But it looks like given the delay, only one side partially reinflated, while the other was still stalled, and/or there was enough that body weight thrown to a side, that I was went into a SAT. Rewatching it, I count potentially four riser twists in one direction before I start twisting the other way. As Knippi is telling me to use more brake or left brake, I cannot. I am spending all my energy pulling the risers apart.

I thought for sure I was going to need to pull the reserve at least after the twist in the first direction. Then surely after the second. But alas, I still had altitude (which I knew thanks to the lack of guidance from Knippi to pull it--I wasn't paying enough attention to my altitude or lackthereof).

The launch was at 1246m, so presumably, I lost about 700-900m in that 50 seconds of falling. I headed straight to the LZ afterwards, with about 100m over the water.
