Default AIR Glide S

Comparing instantaneous wind to average wind will show you any local wind deviations as they occur near thermals. Can't find the thermal under a cloud? Just follow the diverging local wind. Need to find the best line along a cloud street or convergance? Watch the local wind. Feel that blue thermal nearby, but not sure where to turn? The wind will tell you.

Of what use is instantaneous wind?* Can you react to it without
flapping control surfaces all over the place?* Do you use it for
planning your next turn in a thermal?



Not knocking it, I just don't get it why it would be important.*
Please enlighten me.
