For me the side by side format is better for clarity. I've just found your channel and enjoying your content and the scenery. One question...what weather parameters govern flying your ultralight?
The forward slips I've done (all J3 Cub) involve stick into the wind (windward wing down), adjusting for direction, and almost full opposite rudder. I've only ever done these (aside from practice at altitude) on final to landing. Contrast this with a side slip that has stick into wind, but opposite rudder only enough to get nose aligned with runway centerline. I'm a relatively novice pilot, so this question may reflect that: is your forward slip taking place initially doing a 360° turn?
I only did the 360 because I was pretty close to the airport. Otherwise I would have had to do some fairly sharp "S" turns to arrive there at the right altitude.
Feeling for the ground. Kind of like how taildraggers keep the tail end from swinging around. This gives me a nice smooth landing nearly every single time You should do what your CFI teaches, though.
I think you are the kind of pilot who would do the Light Sport community a lot of good. I'm looking for an instructor who will take me up in an actual 'ultralight'( sail wings,open air) . The only schools I've found in AZ train only in closed cockpit LSA planes...
Do you like the picture in picture format or prefer side by side?

No matter what you do what you like. 👍🏽
Picture in picture, please. (maybe up it to 720p?)
thank you.@@RaAztec
Nailed it.

Great stuff as always, picture in picture is nice but that's my opinion, others may disagree.
Thank you. I'm inclined to agree.
Awesome sunset and awesome landing 👍🏽
Thank you.
Drifting and donuts into the sunset, with the wind in your face? Yes, please !
You're welcome!
👍
Awesome job Courtney! (I loved doing slips from the very first time I was taught to do one!)
Agree! It's one of the most fun things you can do with an airplane!
Ultralight flying- play for wise, responsible adults!
I agree!
perfect... job done..
Thank you.
Wow...nice!!
Thank you

What's the happy feet thing? Why do you do that?

Do you teach?
For signing a log book, ground school currently. I can give a recommendation for a flight school.
