@thenated0gLooking for a light primer on the difference between "good" and "bad" times to go out for thermal soaring/dlg stuff. I have no idea what a good thermal day even is.
watching, my wife works in Air quality and will probably laugh when i tell her what im watching, i should just have one of her engineers tell me when a good day isCheck on youtube for some of the Joe Wurts lectures and talks. You should find several of them. He is one of the masters.
you have been applying yourself, grasshopper !This will be a good start of what to look for...
This will be a good start of what to look for.
dead/dark things get hot early in the morning and have a lot of lift. IE asphalt, buildings, dry fields and dirt
Green/watered things stay away from.
Lakes/water are bad and can be bad nearby them too.
Forests/trees are bad in the morning and great in the evenings
Sides of mountains: Bad in the morning, great mid day, bad in the evening.
Mornings have lots of smaller thermals, afternoon has really big thermals that are far apart, miles apart even.
The only, ah problem with Joe's, ah presentations, is that he's not used to, ah public speaking.Check on youtube for some of the Joe Wurts lectures and talks. You should find several of them. He is one of the masters.
Joe could fly on a sparrow fart from two hours ago.There are a number of flight videos with Joe where he demonstrates what he is talking about. Funny thing in at least one of them is you will see other pilots flying and they have short flights, here is Joe talking to the camera and he mostly is catching thermals where no one else is flying, and he is cutting out of them just so he can launch again for the video. The man sees thermals.
