I think you mean at 100 feet or when arriving at trim after bleeding off speed in ground effect, right? Case in point, this fellow did transition in ground effect. Not good.

Fair point about "after arriving at trim" 
I just noticed also on looking at the video at full screen, he transitioned right at the edge of the lip up to the flat landing area making it even harder to keep the nose down and he hit the ground with his legs.

Based on what I saw on a picture it is something really common when your landing is bad but it will let you a real hangglider. Cheers!  |
