A bit on the rowdy side. Blue, smokey and then almost sunk out at Wilber. Really had to be patient and work the broken stuff. Finally turned into something solid. Happy to make it back!
Skip to 13:00 mark if you dont want to watch the low save struggle.
Thank you Martin and Mia!

After a low save, it's all a gift, nice when it works out. Good job tracking the little sucker! Great flight.

@MikeBomstad 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! I really really wanted to keep going. I was fortunate to be over a nice LZ and was able to work it the way that I did

Nice job on massaging that save..it was interesting to watch the lift in your circle/ tracking the thermal..good stuff

@MikeBomstad 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! It took some concentration. Very happy to hang on to it.

@LeFraudHasChokedInSIXFinals 8 месяцев назад

Some people believe the strength of an Atos is its glide. Truth is the sink rate is an even greater asset, enabling one to gain altitude when a lesser wing could not.

@MikeBomstad 8 месяцев назад

That is very true! Not sure I would have saved it with anything else.

@berniemassey8584 5 месяцев назад

Maybe should be landing in the green paddocks. Dust devils can trigger from the dry ones as any time. Generally that doesnt end well if one does.

@MikeBomstad 5 месяцев назад

We try not to land in planted fields. And generally we are landing at the end of the day when the thermals are over. (or we would keep flying 😉) If it was mid day, yes I would be very concerned for a dust devils. Thanks for the comment and watching.

@FlyingFelix1 7 месяцев назад

Do you find it easier to low save it on a flex wing? Seems it would be harder on a rigid as the circles are wider?

@MikeBomstad 7 месяцев назад

It really all depends on the conditions and my potential LZ. I like to leave a larger margin of room for set up with the atos. The atos has less sink rate that can make up for the larger radius.

@MikeBomstad 7 месяцев назад

Also Imagine flying your Flex at full VG but being able to turn it, similar to how the Atos feels performance-wise... but add five or six points of Glide ☺️

@FlyingFelix1 7 месяцев назад

@@MikeBomstad I do fly my Combat at full VG all the time :) LE tension is set to a bit less than setting best for performance, but I had one XC flight in Golden that was flown completely (sans take off and landing) on full VG. I still need to fly a rigid...one day.

@MikeBomstad 6 месяцев назад

:-) I landed my old Litespeed near the rim at Chelan full VG. Rained on out of the sky. 1st time with a wet glider. Thought the rain was causing the stiffness. Until I started walking and saw the rope... dohhh! One of my first big XC flex flights. I learned 😉 I really need to get to golden! That's on my list. The rigid is truly a pleasure to fly. Minimal effort 😁

@FlyingFelix1 6 месяцев назад

@@MikeBomstad come on up! Bring the rigid, perhaps you can take a ride on the Combat while I do so on the rigid 👍 You’d love it up here, make it happen.
