Great video! Can you talk a bit about the use of weight shift (how much or how little) to use in combination with the brakes in broken lift?

I weight shift into any solid lift that feels like it will support my weight, when I hit a 'hole' I go level straight away to avoid accelerating into the sink. If it's very light I'm very gentle with weight shift. You don't need a lot, just a difference in loading between left and right riser. Hope that helps!

Wonderful production and very educational. Thanks

Great video, and so appropriate for making the most of winter season flying in the UK.

Great video Greg. Really clear explanation of what you're doing and why. Very helpful. Thanks. James.

Excellent class, Greg. I must have watched this right as I was getting out of school, but it makes so much sense now that I have a little bit of an idea what thermaling is like.

Nice! Good job Greg. Thanks once again for an informative video.

Excellent video and information. Thanks so much

very helpful video, thanks!

Nice one Greg✌️

Greg thanks for the video, it is very useful! I really wanted live tracks from XTTrack / LK8000 / XCSoar and so on to be attached to these videos. Sorry for my translit :)

Perfect 😁✌

Valeu brother!

@greg @carlo, please can you do a video on how to get up on nil wind days ... I still find these by far the most difficult.

Strong like brother... (BRASIL)

Awesome vid! Would be nice to have a altitude readout on the screen somewhere.... to see how you're doing overall as youre search into the unknown progresses... your bigggest fan. Chris.

It would also be great to have a 3d trace of your flight path so we can see the shape of the thermals and your path as you search for them.

During summer, this area must be a really nice flight site, I reacon.

love your videos. was wondering if youd do a video on different types of 2 meter radios and how to use them and their use regarding the law. Also recommendations for mounting them on your kit and different types of mic's

Thanks also Lee. :) Glad you like our videos. As long as Flybubble stays afloat - thanks to our customers - we'll keep making more! :) About radios, I broadly agree with Greg... except about me doing a writeup on them, to be honest! ;) I'd much rather go flying! Cheers.

Excellent tips! Need your advice on something. When trying to decide if a thermal is left or right, some people say turn to the side of the wing that has been lifted. Others say do the opposite. Your thoughts greatly appreciated.

when you're in lift, turn towards the side that has been lifted. every time. If you're approaching a thermal (not going up yet) then allow the wing to be pulled towards the thermal - this is more tricky, because at times it means leaning into lift lines, and at other times allowing the wing to yaw and going with the motion.

Splendid, thanks!

hey guys... i was wondering if a graphical display of this counter wind line search could be usefull for pilots. i got the concept from you guys and it save me a couple of times... i usually try to find the line a go against the wind to find the next buble or even a better core as you show in this video. thanks a lot for sharing

you mean on an instrument? many of them have a wind direction indicator, so you'd just need to fly directly against that direction. Or were you referring to an annotation on a video to show the line being flown?

@Hemersonr

due the camera angle I think that could be a good idea to put an annotation on the video... I got the line that was flown but it could be tricky for beginners. thanks for answering

Hello, Greg. I live in Frankfurt on Main and I'm a big fan of your videos. I'm about to start training as a pilot. I like your jacket in this video. Can you tell me where to buy these, please? Mehdi

Is likeing verry good. You canot 3 timmes very bad problem, very bigg troublle

Hi Greg, what wing are you flying and what is your total weight?

Hi Greg, thanks for the tips. I noticed your arms are in different positions, inner brake pinned to your side and outer brake away from the body. Is there any reason for this?

@greghamerton4422

6 жыл бұрын

mostly for comfort, but also keeping the inner brake mostly locked in helps to keep the energy constant. The inner brake is using more power, and a straight pull is stronger and easier to maintaint. The outer brake varies depending on where I want to pull on the trailing edge, as you move your hand inwards you pull slightly more on the wingtip (which I'm avoiding, mostly I'm wanting a slowing input without much turn). My hand does go out further than it needs to, but that's probably a balancing effect I'm using instead of doing the work with my hips.

Thanks! I'll have to analyse what I'm doing when I next get the chance to go round in circles.

in this video it was clear to me that the outer brake just control how tighter you intent to keep the turn... i am working in 0.5 to 0.8 m/s and this technique helped me a lot...

Is it possible to feel where the core of the thermal is? On which site?

@greghamerton4422

5 жыл бұрын

yes, it just takes lots of airtime in thermic conditions. Sometimes it's obvious (the wing tips, lifted more by the stronger lift). Sometimes it's more about the feeling of acceleration.
