The thermal book for model pilots (PoD)

If you are reading this while your glider is flying through strong downdrafts at 100 meters altitude, it will be close. But if you read this book before your next flight, we think there's a good chance your next thermal flights will last a little longer than the last. Relentlessly, we show you your favorite side of cranking upwind and the addiction of thermal flying. Even embarrassingly secretive abnormalities such as flying with a vario or in the tropics will be openly discussed. If you have glue and cardboard at home, we give you tips on how to thermalling your glider. In the chapter on emergencies, we explain which beards endanger the model and why gliders always have to land in the only tree far and wide when the pilot is forced to land due to a lack of thermals. For extreme flights we present a whole series of guaranteed unsuitable models (you will be amazed what flies in thermals). No one who has read this book has ever complained about full batteries on landing.
