Very nice! Getting smoother and smoother, just keep the little p.i.o. in check, to which you were doing good. thumbsup
Have any summer pictures of that area?

Thanks! thumbsup

I don't have any summer pictures of the area, but on Panoramio there is some.

We don't have any mountains or high hills here. We´re living in flat land, the highest hill at the whole southern Finland is approx. 120 m (390ft), you can see it on the video at left.
The ice on lake will melt in three or four weeks so we have only few weeks left of winter fly season.

I´m really waiting to get my IPPI-card and have summer vacation in Europe.
(few good hang gliding sites spotted already in Alps)

I've never seen anyone training in a race harness and race helmet before!

Are you really a beginner ? Wink
