Default Bohli compass operation

Was wondering if anyone can describe their personal experiences with a Bohli compass. Did you like it was it easy to use? I read the manual which proclaims one can actually use the compass to center thermals and to cloud fly. From my reading it seems as if you would have to be VERY experienced practiced and current to cloud fly or to use the compass to assist in centering a thermal.


I have a Bohli and confess that I don't use nearly as much as i should. I fly with an Oudie and use that for my thermaling guide. I can see how it helps keep you right size up in a cloud and believe that was what is was used for by the previous owner.
