The was the second flight on my second day at Algodonales and taking of from the western take off (I cannot remember the name of it!).
I got to 1800m AGL (1000 ish meters above the ground, depending on the ground).
I am still struggling with my nerves when I get high. I feel it especially when the glider pitches and turns in turbulance while I am thermalling.
I am getting used to the height and movements of my glider, but it is still pretty scary for me at times.
I think I am flying too far back in the thermal, in the turbulance at the back of the thermal. The question is, do you extend your into wind leg on purpose, or is there another technique you use to stay in the front portion of a thermal when you are thermalling on a windy day?
As allways, thanks for watching and see you again soon.
