THERMAL FLYING for beginners
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 май 2024
- Summer thermals can be intimidating, but you have to hold onto them to get high. So I've packed this video with extracts from various courses in my flight academy. You can get started with Greg for free on flywithgreg.com/yt/59-upstart
In this video you'll learn how to improve your thermaling turn, why you shouldn't be keeping constant brake pressure when active flying, and how to be comfortable with collapses.
At the end I've got a method for helping you with disorientation. So if the idea of summer thermals makes your tummy churn ... stick around for the solution!

Greg goes so deep into it in this one! Awesome
Great info, thanks Greg!
Thanks, now i finally know why my turns are so bad in a thermal!
Greg...this is an awesome video....simply excellent - thank you very much
Thank you so much sir
Muito bom
does the collapse advice apply to sketchy takeoff? (close to the ground)
Really helpful! 🙏🏻
Glad you think so!
Where is this flying site, Greg?
❤
👍🏻👍🏻
I guess I was always flying too active on my inner brake with not enough weight shift. I probably should just go "full zombie" and only pluck my outer brake if something is "iffy" instead of following the "active flying" mantra which we got taught in flight school - compensating even the smallest stuff...
Tips to where to look during a spiral? Wing tip?
yes, inside wing tip, just like in thermaling.
Fixed point in the landscape every 90 °, from one side to the other side of the wing, then next item.
@@PhilippeLarcher really? that would drive me crazy. but whatever works for you.
@@tobiasbrunner4720 why so? It makes the landscape not scroll and get blurry basically, your eye compensate for the rotation. You can train on the ground.
Thats why Sheesh Kebab is my favourite, helps when I really worry about hunger. Freakin bursted out of laughing on the train when I heard this magic world. :D
👍
🙏👍
If you get high 1st then the thermals will not be intimidating.😂😂😂
Don't fly stoned. Water makes better Ballast 😂😅
Don't get too used to this advice. The mustache is going to change all of the defaults.
No one is going to be thermalling in a mustache.
@Seth Tucker just the other day someone did a 200km XC flight on a 22m mustache, and the have prototype larger ones specifically to replace normal PG's, so I wouldn't be so sure if I were you, since people already are thermaling them...
I would feel safer under a full beard tbh
@@bikerdude923 Obviously, I don't mean in an absolute sense.
It's just that they don't really offer major benefits for thermalling or XC. Great toy for screwing around on the Dune? Sure.
No way people would prefer fly the moustache for xc in terms of performance, fun yes, but no where near as effective as two liner.
