This Speed issue. I mean varying My Speed while Flying. Really what is the Point to varying Ones speed? IF i was Flyng an XC route. sure, I would look at the classic indicators for where a Thermal would be more likely to be found. I looked for contrast, as in a Brown Field that was bordered by a lush Green Forrest, I would Fly a Zig-Zag Pattern that would have Me Cross this line of Brown Dirt, a Green Vegetation. It Yes, the Contrast seemed to be Fruitful regarding Thermals being formed.

Look I have given some of My Thoughts regarding when I searched for Theral's. How about some of Your thoughts regarding what You Guys look for regarding finding elusive thermals? Please respond with Your Comments>. I always was aware of My Gliders reality. Yes, the Predator does indeed have a Phenomenal Sink Rate. But if the Air that I was Flying in, was not: Rising Air. Then I would soon end up back on the Ground.

OK, so we all want to stay up in the Air, that is something that We all can agree to. Please share Your thoughts regarding Maintaining up in the Air.

Maybe it is the case with Me, that I tended to pull on too much speed to often upon My topping out while Climbing in Thermals. It was the case Quite ofteb that Ny Flying My Predator 158 I could and did have so much confidence in the {Gliders} Ability to: {Get Up}. I did not worry that much about how fast I was Flying. But who knows what could or just might be possible regarding how Far My Predator 158.

In closing: I want to in the Spring when John is here. I want to see if He can Bring Me: {UP TO SPEED} so to speak, regarding Speeds to Fly.

This is about it. Good By Chris McKeon.
