Heureka !! (zero wind launches)

The last 2 days I've spent some time on the 'Alp Scheidegg', trying to implement what I saw on this video.
(Blog entry here.) 

Pano looking west (towards lake of Zurich) 



The first day I tried the "11:05-position" (> see video what this means). This was already an improvement to my launches, but not yet convincing; today then some tries with the "10:10-position", which proved to be a huge step forward from my hitherto way of launching ("08:20-position").
This actually means that there (hopefully) is no immediate need to change my glider, but I'll still be trying the new Advance Epsilon 8 by mid-April.
