It's Saturday 23rd September, and it's likely one of the last XC-able days in the UK this season. I'd set a 105km goal at Bletchley near Milton Keynes, taking off from Milk Hill near Devizes, and I was 75kms into the flight when I got low, very low indeed! Grab a beer or coffee and enjoy the ride!

Great save Tim! I actually had a very similar save during the Italian Championships, which I recored, and it was from 264ft (80 meters). It's such an awesome feeling when you climb high enough and you know you just saved a comp/xc day.

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! And well done on yours too…! As you say, it really is the best feeling 👍🏻👍🏻

Love the beeping sound. We only had ugly screaming roller coaster thermals in Ireland this year. Rodeo rides holding on for dear life to keep the wing open. I did 55 turns in one thermal and gained no height due to a strong inversion. We fly sideways over the 40 shades of Green. Lovely Save Tim

@TimPentreath 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Interesting you’ve had boisterous thermals this year, we’ve had more mellow conditions than last year I’d say… I hope to fly in Ireland sometime… 🍀

I love a good low save. Done loads in the past and they always cheer me up! Another great video Tim. You are really cracking some good flights this year....(and previous years)

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

They’re so satisfying but I wish I didn’t need them 😂

Great flying Tim, definitely a difficult day but great to see the vid having watched your trace, gutted I cant rewind to Sat as I followed a low one maybe 3, 360s and gave up thinking it wasn,t there. Maybe just maybe having watched yours I should have stuck with it. Think I was more thinking about the main road and retrieval than flying till the end. Great vid to watch bud.

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

Cheers Mark, yeah I was almost in landing and pub mode before I decided to give it one last shot, but quickly switched into mincing mode once I had a sniff of it!

Wow what a beautiful sky. Patience too 👍

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

It was such a good day considering it’s the end of the season, and yes, it was a beautiful sky 👍🏻

Great job Tim! Another entertaining watch. At around minute 13 in the video when you briefly lost the climb and rejoined it it before it got stronger, it seemed like the core was downwind of you? And you flew back to catch it. Is this accurate? What sort of windspeed did you have this day? Many thanks! 😊

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! Yes you’re right, there was definitely a stronger core downwind. I don’t know whether I lost the climb because I accidentally pushed too much into wind, or whether it was just weak and fizzled out, but once I’d lost it the only direction it made sense to go was downwind because of the sun on the ground and the village… I guess the windspeed was between 20-25kph

@WuTangChillaBee 11 месяцев назад

@@TimPentreath cool thanks for that. Makes sense as I also thought you drifted a lot right at the start of the low save, but as you say thats probably also due to the shade chasing you!

@MikeJTPG 11 месяцев назад

What time was your low save Tim? Not an easy climb that so well done. I thought I saw a bird with you about 5:55 also

@MikeJTPG 11 месяцев назад

Ah 14:32 I see from your track and a good 12 mins before you were defo going up.

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Mike, and yes, it was with me briefly but I lost sight of it...

@milcog3662 11 месяцев назад

Its like porn to me, But can you immagine how boring this must be for people Who do not fly themselves? 😂 very Well done Tim!!!

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

@MsBull77 11 месяцев назад

Great low save!! 👍 Do you use more sensitive xctracer profile for weak thermal days? Can you share your profile?

@TimPentreath 11 месяцев назад

I use this where/whenever I fly… ClimbToneOnThreshold=0.1 ClimbToneOffThreshold=0.1 SinkToneOnThreshold=-0.1 SinkToneOffThreshold=-0.1 tone=-10.00,200,200,100 tone=-2.00,293,200,100 tone=-1.99,293,700,82 tone=-1.00,320,651,29 tone=-0.99,320,350,10 tone=0.00,374,200,5 tone=0.01,432,500,10 tone=0.41,521,399,35 tone=1.00,617,335,50 tone=2.05,772,275,50 tone=3.74,996,228,50 tone=10.00,1830,95,50 I found the default tones really dead - they didn’t do such a sensitive instrument any justice at all.
