Default RE: Aerobird - Flying for a beginner

Make all turns away from the hill, Imagine a big figure 8 if you were looking down on the top of the hill. The wind needs to be straight in or only up to about 15 degrees cross. The hill should be steeper if the wind has less speed. Fly along the top of the ridge no more than 20 degrees out from the top. If it is blowing harder the lift band will extend further out and you can venture further out. Above all you need to be smooth on the sticks in light air ;-)
