Nice skyline article
Readers of this group might like a very nice article on turn radius and
handicapping by Judah Milgram http://skylinesoaring.org/NEWSLETTER/2005/February/ Though mostly about handicapping, it also shows very nicely why you should not thermal at the "minimium sink speed" corresponding to the level flight polar, but instead should usually thermal right on the edge of a stall. (Going slower means you can achieve the same turn radius with a lower bank angle.) John Cochrane BB |
