There's an old wise saying about flying in rain: "big drops are good, small drops are bad". Explanation: If you are flying in lift, the rain drops will be big. They have to be a certain size to counter the lift and fall. Fine mist is bad, as it'll come down in descending air. Note how the lift areas you flew in have big drops.

[@Dalboe]

Interesting theory, I will now start flying after the big drops ;)

[@milankmetovics5387]

I both experienced lift and sink in all kinds of precipitation. Big raindrops fall trough the lift, small drops can be carried / floated by it. Snowing / ice crystals can be also present in both sink / lift. Essentially in most of the cases its better to stay close, but away from the rain (few drops on canopy) following the line of the convergence created by the cold air undercutting the warmer air bellow you. ( That is of course only true if we talk thermal / convergence, and not think of ridge / wave) and that where the rainbow is with the pot of gold!:D facebook.com/milancse/photos/a.1888014207983585/1888014184650254/?type=3&theater

[@wordreet]

Nice. I fly RC model glider sometimes, and the best lift I ever experienced was right before a hail storm!!! The lift was incredible once this huge dark grey cloud was just a mile away. I had to almost dive my glider back down from almost the highest I've even been! I was on high ground and could see the weather approaching all the way from the horizon. So I could gauge when I should bring her down to land and run back to the car. I was loading the model into the back of my car as the first hail started bouncing off the tailgate! After 10 mins the sky cleared and I tried again, but the lift was about as interesting as last week's left over pizza.

[@pops9190]

Very awesome to watch all this, Especially the different climbing zones within the cloud deck and in the rain. I was surprised to see how late your FLARM unit you have on board indicated a shoulder to shoulder converging pass? Looks like it would have been too late if it would been a nose to nose collision course. Would love to hear your comment on that thank you. I wish FLARM was as prevalent here in the USA is it is over an Euro Land.

[@Dalboe]

Weather was something. The FLARM was quite slow to react in particular situatoion, could be due to a bad antenna mounting location in one or the other glider.

[@arkzockt8892]

The glider sounds like my jet when I play GTA

[@DPH667]

How is the view at 3m 47s "clear of cloud and in sight of the ground" and what happens if you do get it wrong and do get sucked up above your magic get out of jail "I'm below 900m altitude" ... once you're above that you're into the requirement to be 1500m horizontally 300m (1000ft) vertically from cloud. What's your maximum possible descent rate if you pull lift spoilers / airbrakes etc? will that beat the uplift within a large cloud? .. and I cannot believe how close that other glider is to you at your 1 o'clock position at 4:07. I'm an instructor who will occasionally take students up in poor (but legal) conditions to show them how different it is in the air in those conditions compared to the view on the ground, or what the forecast said. So they learn that sometimes it's best to stay on the ground, and to have a plan B. I've flown in some difficult conditions, but some of this makes my toes curl. I worry that you believe that because you have been ok in these situations before, you always will be. But nature is not very forgiving, and sometimes unplanned things happen with the aircraft that the best pre-flight check doesn't pick up, or sometimes there's another person up there (like that glider at 4:07) but not on frequency, or not with FLARM, or FLARM doesn't update quickly enough, or there's a bird, or whatever. Enjoy your flying but please consider the risks to you and others. It's easy to get addicted to the thrill, and our brains are wonderful at letting us know how masterful we are becoming..

[@Dalboe]

Hi DH, that's some very valid points that I agree with, thanks for your consideration. I don't expect that you're looking for answers to your questions, as the seem rhetorical.

@@Dalboe keep enjoying your flying. I teach a range of what might be called " potentially dangerous sports" that are also very exciting and good fun. that's why we do them eh? otherwise what... we were beige and live boring lives lol but beware if the thrill seeking gets close to " let's see how close I can get to the edge here... " it's a fine line eh? easy to get into a ." to hell with everyone and everything I'm doing it anyway" way of thinking. If you find yourself there, do something different for a while until you resolve what is driving you to take bigger risks. I hope you can hear that I love flying as much as you clearly do.

[@erkh9794]

what is the red thread for?

[@spotted5]

Yaw coordination especially while in turns. The higher wing of an aircraft in a turn tends to lag behind which causes a "slip" which means the aircraft is not pointed straight in the intended direction but rather at an angle. This will show on the string due to the relative wind passing over it, so if the string is not straight the pilot must add rudder to correct for it.

[@AntimatePcCustom]

You sure can, this is useful to get into wave (smooth laminar air) that's going up over the clouds. Or you can build up speed and pull up over above the cloud base for fun.

[@MrGameableGaming]

Is the beeping noise like a stall horn? or is it like when your speed is getting low it gets faster.

[@Adnine235]

It indicates climb rate/descent rate. The higher the pitch of the beeping, the higher the rate of climb. Low constant sound indicates descent with the same being true for it's pitch.

[@Deggo]

very cool i dont know why people put hate comments in here

[@AmyAnnLand]

The only negative comments I'm seeing are (rightfully) criticizing him for flying too close to the clouds and in IMC, especially with local traffic. Gliders are supposed to maintain VFR and distance about 1000 feet from cloud bases. What he did can be considered dangerous since flying into the clouds can cause you to collide with traffic and lose your situational awareness. For pilots flying VFR who end up in IMC, there is a massive fatality rate over 75%.

[@skriuttutt]

@@AmyAnnLand A lot of countries allow gliders to fly up to cloud base if they still have the ground in sight. The fatality rate for glider pilots accidentally flying in to IMC is pretty close to zero. When a PPL(A) finds himself IMC it´s probably because he/she flew 100kts straight forward into a larger cloudlayer (something like 7-8/8). When we glider pilots do it it´s usually thermalling (airspeed about 50 kts) and only partially during turning. Most likely not into a larger cloud layer as they very seldom have any lift under them...

[@kasu8360]

just asking what is that beeping?

[@3a_n739]

Ive heard from another vid that the beeping is the wind/curent of air so the pilot knows if he is in a thermal zone so he can get lift / speed if im not wrong
