Thermal gliding with the ASK-21

Flight on the I-IVWP, an ASK-21 Glider from Calcinate, Italy. Thermal gliding.
During recording, the second pilot took control of the plane. Don't blame me if the woolen wire is not aligned. :) :)

Hi,Just a coment looks like incorrect use of the rudder in the turns.Nice video though.

Take care

@kentkami: Two notes: 1) I wasn't piloting because I was recording the movie. The pilot was in the seat behind. 2) Sometimes on this ASK21 it happens that when the rear woolen thread is centered, the 1st pilot's woolen thread might be not, so probably the second pilot used the rudder in a sub-optimal way due to this.

one side of the thermal was working really well so why didn't you fly straight when you hit the lift then start turning again when you were centred in the thermal?

[paoloaga]

Simply because I was just recording the movie and the one piloting it wasn't me, at that time! ;-)

So i see alot of mountains there, did you get any ridge updrafts ?? Nice vid btw

[paoloaga]

On that day there was only thermal activity, but in windy days, it's common to fly with dynamic updraft!

[TheFlightLog]

What does the beeping indicate ?

[simonpaquetdotca]

too much left pedal, its impressive to see you that high when the cord is all the way left....

i also fly the ask 21 (OY - XPL) but with a different cockpit design.

How is it like to fly in the mountains?
