True he does appear to fly quite far upwind of the beginning of the runway and then approach at quite a severe angle, prompting the sharp turn onto final. Maybe he felt it best to simply point the aircraft at the most direct route to the centre of the airfield...better to do that then aim at the start and fall short i guess.
Not really fair to criticise though just on the basis of a video, he landed the thing in one piece which is ultimately the best one can aim for...
