[@asul996]

Just got back for the 3rd time into RC airplanes with a balsa build F5L, can't do F3K bad back. Thanks for the excellent explanation on thermal, the best one on KZbin.

Thanks for sharing your secret 👍 Like you I had a streamer on a pole when I went flying Friday. Your video has help me understand what the streamer is telling me. Thanks again 👍

Great, big thermal! Ascend to the sky. Thermal generation tends to occur depending on the ground conditions. It is difficult to keep catching because it is swept away by the wind. Thank you for your secret.

Thank you, it was a very nice day!

Very useful information and procedural method for finding thermals. Very nice thermal flights! Thank You! Maybe I realized that I needed a little more vertical tail movement, which I can only achieve with a longer arm servo lever, so I stay easier on thermal lifts because I can brake the glider and lift a bigger nose to rise in the thermal.

[@afilos]

Thank you, yes maybe about 1cm is sufficient IMO
