By anticipating and correcting early, you avoid the need for large control inputs. Wait for the tug to pull you into the turn, then follow. When you reach 2,000 feet, you will release by pressing firmly on the release handle. Now you are in free flight. Relax your grip on the control bar.
Free Flight Be careful to stay upwind of the field at all times.
Stay near the perimeter of the field. For most hang gliders, especially beginner gliders, this entire speed range may encompass just twenty miles per hour. The difference in performance, however, is significant. You will learn to control your airspeed with precision, and fly as efficiently as possible. Trim is the speed the glider flies when you leave it alone.
