Thanks F3G, but a couple of hours in a glider pretty much got me to where I thought I should be. i.e. Soloed. I think the better visibility (big canopy) really helped.

There is some good web material on landings as well. I just flare at an estimated 2 secs above the ground. This can be practiced by looking at the perspective change on a book/desk etc, if you move your head and down.

From there, it is just a question of tweaking the stick back until you run out of travel, though I generally land before this point in the glider and just pull the airbrakes full out.
