Alan_Perse:
Thanks Richard. I'll do that.
But I think at the end of the day it's just that I need more practice probably, and I need to put the throwing peg in a more comfortable position.

My friends in Lithuania put this wee video together after a F3K competition.
Who ever said Flat field gliding is not fun !!!!!
Get a beer , put up you feet and be entertained !

HLG IN THE SNOW !
Last Saturday during a moment of bordum, I assembled my Blaster and headed to the park beside my home.
Winds were light at about 8mph, and I had a few chucks with the Blaster.
The temperature was 2DC and to my surprise I was getting some fantastic thermals running through the park.
I recorded 2x 10min flight and a few 3-4min flights before my old body became cold and sore.
I was out again on Monday for half an hour and again thermals were popping up all over the place.
The snow may have closed of the mountain but there are other ways to  get flying our gliders :)

Happy Days:
Well done Richard! :clap:

I guess thermals are about relative heat sources. So if one part of the park were colder than the other, the air in the warmer part would start rising as the heavier (denser) air flows in to displace it?
Have to say I’ve never heard of thermaling in the snow before, you might start a new trend Richard

Yes,…..“Trendsetter Boyd” we’ll have to call you in future. :lol:

Remember... a trend is only a trend if other people start doing it too.

I'm staying indoors and throwing another log on the fire  :lol:
