Take Your Soaring Skills To The Next Level

The Soaring Master Class 3 training DVD is all about skill building for intermediate and advanced soaring pilots. Instructor Mike Smith is great teacher because he makes you rethink the way you fly and question those aspects of soaring you thought you knew well.

This Master Class emphasizes in-flight thermal training, but there's a nice amount of ground school tuning tutorials as well. This DVD also features on board HD video camera footage which was recording the flights synced-up to the ground camera. A yaw indicator on the nose of the plane demonstrates how adverse yaw effects flight in real time.

Mike demonstrates how to set up your rudder mixing and differentials for coordinated turns, and you see those effects on the yaw angle of the glider as he changes the mixes. The onboard camera and Mike's zen-like commentary while thermaling really makes this training DVD unique.

DVD Tutorials:

• Tuning &  Flight Control Mixing

• CG Settings

• Flight Mode Use

• Trimming For Best Glide

• Yaw Control & Differentials

• Low Level Thermal Technique

• Energy Management

Other subjects covered are thermaling technique, air reading while in flight, managing the plane's energy, speed, attitude and how to adjust the glider to changing conditions. This DVD will be incredibly useful to all soaring pilots as the skills and tutorials taught can be applied to any type of glider.
