How many gliders can be trimmed for hands off thermalling? An instructor showed me, with spoilers open and proper trim, the glider will stabilize in a slow descending turn. Claimed it was good for getting out of a cloud. Neat, but would not want to thermal with the spoilers open. Grob Astir CS works pretty well. Passed the urination-while-thermalling test. So does my Mosquito. Don't try it in a Ventus =o As for getting out of a cloud that's a benign spiral. Lots to be found by Googling this group, but ask your instructor for a demo too. Shawn
