More Jim Rooney on how to do a proper landing

Approach the earth faster than trim (as always). Round out into
ground effect. You will naturally slow the glider as you pay off speed to
maintain altitude.
The glider will eventually hit trim speed. You will know this because there will
be no forward pressure on the uprights. Before you were holding them back to
have speed. Now that speed has washed away and they are no longer begging to go
forward, they are loose in your hands.
After I hit trim, I wait one second. One, not two.
And flare like I mean it. This is easy to do because I know the glider will
fully stall, root and tips. I know this because this works with every single
stock glider.
The glider stalls and falls off my back, and it will also stop you from running.
It will land on it's keel. This is correct.
If you allow it to settle onto your shoulders, you have failed. Put it on it's
keel!
This is key.
