Doesn’t matter what you fly. Get out there and go groundhandle!
9 years ago I just got my license and bought an old beat up glider from eBay for 50£ and went groundhandling at the local park.
There were houses, trees, rotor, dog s**t, holes, the wing was very porous and the lines and shrunk/stretched loads. All in all it was a terrible groundhandling experience but I loved it.
It gave me time to really lean in to my mistakes, get very familiar with the equipment and wonder why the glider behaved the way it did.
A few months ago had a chance to talk to
Hope you enjoy it.

Toughts can create a physical response and change the way we fly. Our brains are running on a loop all the time to manage situations and understanding how that loop works is very useful to manage our emotions, and as a result, our actions.

When you fall over your arms come out to make sure you safe your face, but in the air this might lead to problems. For that reason it’s important for flying and groundhandling to learn to dissociate your arms. Another great fundamental from
