Bob,

I fly that uncoordinated, but somehow I still gain altitude, too...

On a bad day the string just refuses to lie still. On a good one it hardly ever
moves - and the vario makes happy noises.
Maybe it is a Schempp-Hirth thing, but my old Cirrus also climbs best with a
little bit of string deflection. The geometry would have a tiny two or three
degrees slip indicated if you fly perfectly co-ordinated, and it is best with
quite a lot more than that.
