Nice video Tom! its hard to go passed where you landed .. the venturi bends the thermals alot and you need to drift deep to continue.

@patrickswitzer6285 ай бұрын
Tom, thanks for the video. Are you not concerned for the overall pitch balance of the glider? For example let's say the average of all the lines on the left A1 group are within factory tolerance, but on the long side, say +6mm. And the average of all the left B1 line group is within tolerance, but on the short side, like - 6mm. So even though all the individual lines are in tolerance, your delta between the A1 / B1 groups is quite large at 12 mm and would result in a slow trim? Thanks

Good remark Patrick, that imbalance looks suspicious indeed, maybe one of the pros reading this can answer.
