What's your go-to technique for catching thermals? 🪂👆🤔Got questions about thermaling or paragliding in general? Drop them below! Let's turn this comment section into a hub of knowledge and shared experiences. 🧠🪂

Really like the in flight stream of consciousness format as paragliding is all about decisions and it is nice to have insight from experienced pilots like yourself. Also like you that you bought up the important point of sharing the airspace 🤙

Thanks glad you like it and found it helpful 👍😀🪂

Many of my favourite free-flying experiences involve soaring with birds. 🦅🦅🦅Just in my local area, in the south east of England, I often enjoy the privilege of flying with gaggles of gulls, screams of swifts, wakes of buzzards and hovers of kestrels, to name but a few. Sometimes I get to share the sky with soars of red kites, one of my favourite birds of all; they are just so incredibly beautiful, and such amazingly graceful fliers, magnificent to observe! 😍 Yet another thing free-flight has taught me over the last 30 plus years: a better appreciation of nature! 🦅

@andrey_climb_bike_ski 8 месяцев назад

Could someone please explain to me how there's so many (large!) thermals on a cloudy day like this where everything is in the shade? Is it just that the lapse rate is super high and enough IR light is making it through the clouds?

@Itsallgoodtogo 8 месяцев назад

leaving a comment for some UK pilots to reply as well.

@jamieppg 8 месяцев назад

Brilliant, just what I needed, thank you. BTW, how/where exactly do you mount the 360 stick?

@wamcoc2352 7 месяцев назад

Hi Carlo, I'm probably not alone in struggling with the decision on when to stay in a thermal, leave to find a better one, or go back to one that was working better a few minutes ago. Do you have any rules of thumb or signals you use for when to stay in and when to move on?

@warlin6 8 месяцев назад

Hi, sorry for the inappropriate question) what is the your harness size and how tall are you?) I am trying to pick the size of that harness

I hope you enjoyed this video and found it helpful. If this leaves you with any questions or you have any requests for what else could be demonstrated and explained in future videos, feel free to comment.

How the hell are there thermals when there is no sun????

@flybubblecarlo 8 месяцев назад

As this video shows, you can have thermals on some overcast days! 🌥🔁 Sometimes you can find even very good thermals! 🆙😄

@flybubblecarlo 8 месяцев назад

Conversely, you can have no thermals at all on some sunny days! 🌞⤵

@kocot. 8 месяцев назад

@@flybubblecarlo to have really no thermals it would require quite special conditions, like very strong wind, huge inversion, but having poor flying conditions, that's for sure :D Now, the real question is how does it work? The thing is that even with overcasted sky there are still places that heat up more and others that don't, there are still triggers. After all cloudy days are still warmer than nights most of the time :)

@beautifulmercury 8 месяцев назад

Clouds actually radiate longwave radiation (sometimes we say they reflect the earths heat back in.) Cloudy nights are warmer than clear nights most of the time for this reason (in the absence of the sun.) during the day, depending on the day, the sun’s heat can penetrate the clouds even if the light does not. Especially if this is a day that was clear earlier and then clouded over, that early heat can get sort of trapped.

scala 2 or 1?

@flybubblecarlo 7 месяцев назад

@@FlyPhiGuy thanks, I've been testing the Scala 2 and Scala 2 light, and comparing to others, and plan to publish a review. I've been personally really enjoying testing them, in all conditions, so they will likely feature in more tips type videos. 😃🪂ℹ

@flybubblecarlo 7 месяцев назад

@@FlyPhiGuy I started writing a brief summary of my findings about the Scala 2 and Scala 2 light so far, which became a not-so-brief mini review, but clearly I took much too long over this as while I was writing the video ended and so the page refreshed and I lost all I wrote. Doh! 🤦‍♂
