landing on the spot...
Some good attempts & some very bad ones... quite noticable how many pilots forgot about keeping their wings level when going for the full flair !
This is a common fault, you must control the 'ROLL' *even when in the flair position* until your feet are on the ground.
The 'ROLL' control will be more stiff due to the lack of airspeed but you must still use it...any weight towards the higher wing will stop it from getting worse.
Good tip.

This will give you the taste for hang gliding! and see the paraglider getting a good drag at the end.
