Friday's flight from Quest to Williston was an easy flight. Lift everywhere along the cloud streets. I've never had such easy flying conditions before. We landed because we were at goal. If we would have been able to leave earlier, we would have tried to go really far.

  • @6btl6 The glider has a 1/15 glide ratio. Wind and lift was helping in that stretch. 1/50 glide ratios are for sailplanes ;-)

  • @6btl6 I was at 1700m and glided to 1200m. There was a lot of gliding in rising air at that time. About the cloud suck: you surely have to be careful. Leave it early when the thermal accelerates under cloud base. Make sure you can always reach the edge of the cloud.

  • Good flight
