I had to stay in the green air speed arc today (bottom left quadrant is the anemometer)
Too many turbulences to enter the yellow arc. But hey, 150km/h air speed (20kmh side wind and we are at 1300m over sea level, will explain later what this changes) without engine is not that bad.

That's what we call transitions: travelling from a positive lift zone to another and spending less time as possible in the negative vertical speed zones.

Slow down when air goes up, go faster when air goes down. That's the basics of piloting a sailplane.

ok, everyone! we can all pack it up and call it a day, go out and touch grass. i'm pretty sure no one else on farcaster is having a cooler day than @nicom 🤣

Lol, damn I hope many have very cool days! Love you all. Note it's very rare I think about taking pics over there, but for once I thought my FC friends would love that. Let me know if you want more!

Not my landing, this is my friend in a Lak 19T (but I took the video)

It's smooth and definitive, we don't have engine so no second try 😅
Or you have to use the tow plane again, but when I landed the pilot was gone so, now I only have to fill the flights list and clean mosquitoes stuck on the sailplane.
