Hey KZbin, we need a "Thumbs up x10" please. Folks, if there is any question about about a good instructor and a bad instructor, this video alone should answer that question. This video "dumbed down" the terms just enough for great comprehension and kept the interest alive throughout the video. A great video Kyle, I beleive I speak for many here. 👍🏻x10.

Wow, Kyle! You outdid yourself on this video! I've bookmarked it so I can refer to it again, since there was so much information here. You have a way of explaining these concepts so effectively, that I found myself creating a mental picture that was good enough for me to anticipate what you were going to say next - that's awesome. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and experience with us all - I certainly hope I have the opportunity to thank you in person some day!

Awesome Kyle O. So many teachers leave out the details and for us, the ones who build things with our hands and solve problems in our shops with our own tools and machines -- the details are everything. Before I build something or solve a problem I always equip my mind with all the facts and details that relate to the task at hand first, always. Thanks so much for filling that need, the knowledge that you impart is priceless to me in the lifelong dream that I have to fly. It is finally starting to materialize, albeit late in life, but I am just in the fact finding phase and will be reviewing many of your posts for the second and third time. Thanks again for contributing to the subject of weather, it has filled my mind lately as I pursue the goal of flight in earnest now, especially since I will be spending much of my time studying this subject as a constant prerequisite to launching. Thanks again buddy!

Heck, I'm still waiting on a nil wind day to play around in - few and far between this time of year up here. Today was a case-in-point - hit 80° in some parts of the state. 76° at my house, but winds were 6-9 mph gusting 22 ... and just 500' AGL according to the Ryan Carlton site from a local airport (about 10 miles south of here), they were 22, and God only knows what the gusts were up there. NOPE, not for me, lol! 😁

Camp fire smoke “thermals” at 8:30 was very creative. And ET on your shirt - is that a hat tip to the military’s THIRD official video release of a dozen flying saucers? The ten minute pilot interview is challenging to believe. Supposedly he flew in a flat spiral circle at 700 mph while the disk stayed opposite him in a slow tumble, disobeying all laws of aerodynamics, also there was no infra red heat trail from an oil and gas engine - new tech? Spinning opposed rotation magnets can do strange things! According to the pilot the saucer then took off “like a bullet out of a gun” at thousands of miles per hour. Darn I’d like to get a ride in one of those sport models! Haha. Stay healthy.

I love your videos, keep up the good work. How much will the largest chute hold, been wanting to thermal on my trike I'm 165, 35 pds trike 185, on an older fly products double cage. 4.7-gallon fuel tank. I get about a 4-hour range. I do play in light cloud suck from time to time. It saves fuel on long runs. I'm on a 26m 2017 mojo5. I did get caught in a convergence one day. Now I'm thinking of adding a toilet paper hanger on the trike. The wing handled it fine, with a little slinging and diving. Just make sure to leave my hands up and let it fly out until I could power to a less turbulent place. No wing caspase at all. The sad part is, I saw the convergence on windy app that morning. Showing it to be somewhere in my neighborhood that day in the afternoon of my flight. I mostly look for wind under 6mph. Morning and noon mostly. Three years, 300 hours, no chote. That made me think about getting one. falconronfalconron f/b

Very Well Done Kyle. I've been a storm spotter for 25 years and consider myself amateur meteorologist. Everything you said was spot on and well explained. I ran across your channel a week ago when researching training programs around my area(I'm in Fort Worth, TX)If anything this video convinced me even more that I need to train with you. Don't know when that will be. I have to convince the wife to let me first. I do have a question unrelated to this video. In another video you mention the equipment you have and talk about radios. One of them was the Baofeng uv-5r(i have several) and you called it a ham radio. Are you a licensed ham? I've been licensed 25 years(how I became a storm spotter) and my callsign is wo5m.

Thanks for the awesome video! My one question is, how are the rising thermals of warmer air more dense than the cooler air flowing around the column?
@kyleoglee4 жыл бұрын
It's the pressure. It has more influence on density than temperature alone. BTW, it's not always cooler higher! Inversions are common.
@therealandrewlund4 жыл бұрын
@@kyleoglee well, I understand that air closer to ground is denser, so it makes sense that once it moves up it would bring that pressure with it, but wouldn't it just expand immediately and lose that pressure?
@kyleoglee4 жыл бұрын
@@therealandrewlund It's like a train rolling to a stop. Once it's moving, it's moving. It'll keep rising, it does expand, but it retains the density more than the air that has settled above it. Eventually, it'll petre out and fall back down or start condensing and generating it's own heat, then come down hard!😉
