This reminds me of an instructor telling his sailplane racing student
not to pull up and turn in the thermals if they aren't at least a 10
knotter....just keep flying straight thru it . Another sailplane pilot
who doesn't have a coach turns into the thermal, and while not centered
perfectly he does get a good " return " for his efforts and at the end
of the race is even with the Pro coached pilot who kept flying straight
....
So ...which one of these pilots learned a valuable lesson ? And which
one of these lessons is more valuable ?
just my 2 cents.... oops.... correction
2 cents plus 17%
