Greg, your videos are excellent!
Wow! Nice place, thermal and easy explanation of the flight...
Excellent video , but much better the article, just as a new guy with only 110 flights this helps a lot, but it will take me over 20 or more flights to apply all the tips. thanks for the help and your time to help us the new pilots. regards.
dude... I was missing your videos. thks a lot.
Exelente Amigo.... muy buena explicación.
Great videos! Can you do a video also for beginners...what to be carefull when flying...were not to go? And when piloting..how much brake inputs.. thank you!!
Thanks! It's been too long since the last vid. We love it when we get to the point in thermalling where we ignore the ground and fly the sky, wish every human could experience that joy.
Buzz Zee and GEO Five yeah, that "packing up and leaving" feeling is amazing! when you succeed at scratcing up in weak bubbles and barely forming low thermals and know you have the opportunity to positively glide away, towards new horizons... It's veey intense feeling in my country, thermals are a scarse commodity here.
NGC1433 Milton' galaxy is beautiful and distant...
Great, Tks!
Thanks for your great videos. It looks like you've got speedbar on all the time?
can't wait to start grabbing my first thermals. new pilot in the making
steve anderson Well the thermals will grab you! Maybe even inappropriately, depending on where you fly...
Two years later... How are the thermals like, mate?
my new experience in thermal drift was very good end practice. ...I think that condition is not for little pilots. .😃
Thank you for this video Greg! :-) I have learned so much from you!
There was a CuNim almost at it's maturity ready to pour down not too far away from you (maybe less than 30km).
How do we know the conditions are safe to fly & there is no danger of gust fronts?
All the clouds & wind seemed like it was about to turn to worse real soon. Or am I wrong ?
I would really appreciate your answer. thank you!
Hello, How do you synchronize video with the Syride?
Great tutorial !
Thank you in advance
Geoffrey
dashware (free download) provides the data from the Syride tracklog. It's not precisely what the vario is showing, (because the vario has its own algorithms to calculate lift, not shown by the tracklog) but it's close enough to give you an idea.
What wing are you flying?
Advance Omega Xalps. It's a very stable wing that has almost zero retained energy.
