It's the cardinal rule of landing (and taking off for that
matter), wings level. Wings level is above all else. Keeping your nose down on
takeoff is at the end of the day, all about keeping your wings level. If you
don't, you drop a wingtip.

So, what to do when they're not? Get them level, at nearly any cost. Do nothing
else until they are. We're not trying to save a graceful landing at this point…
we're trying not to get hurt. If you touch the ground with your wings level, it
will almost certainly be better, and heaps better, than if they are not. If
they're not, when you touch, you're going for a cartwheel ride. It's going to
suck.

If they're level, you might just pancake in. You might break some uprights. Who
cares? Break them. Grab one and plow through it. Don't grab both as you'll break
your arms. All the usual "crashing" advice. Hopefully it doesn't even get that
far.

I've landed my talon downwind on my belly with no wheels and everything just
skidded in… the nose never even came down. Level level level. A good shove on
the basetube right at the end helped. You can't flare prone, but you sure as
hell can try, and it does matter. (Thankfully faired base tubes slide well on
semi-wet grass, especially if you get them going slow enough.)

#1 Goal, get the wings level. If you can't in time, do not flare! Flaring in a
turn will always go bad, and it'll go bad fast. Don't even semi-flare. Don't
even continue to slow down. Your goal is still to get your wings level, if that
means speeding up, guess what? You do it. Get those wings level, then, once they
are, you can huck that puppy over your head and save yourself from pounding in,
but only once you get them level.

Now, this is where those other landing techniques come in very handy. This is
why I teach my students to stop themselves with the glider before I even let
them leave the ground.

That "moonwalk" landing can save your butt. You're all setup for a perfect
landing when ole mama nature decides to bitch slap you. Ok, panic room time.
We've just shifted gears from a nice "showstopper" landing to "not pounding in".

We've maybe even had to nudge the bars in a touch to get them level again. We're
still in a non- advantageous position. We're faster than we can run and things
are happening too fast to pull out a good flare. Hell, we probably don't have
the wings level yet and it's "touch the earth" time.

So moonwalk-run. Finish leveling the wings as you do it, then you're just doing
a moonwalk landing from that point on. If you know the moonwalk, this is
extremely easy. I highly recommend learning it if you don't already know it.
Start on an easy glider first btw, learn the technique, then apply it to your
glider. I learned the moonwalk on a Falcon. Then a Sport 2, then I moved on to
my gliders.

I'm a stingy bastard. I only pay the piper when I absolutely have to. I've paid
the man, don't get me wrong, but I avoid it as long as I can.
