It seems to work well, but I have done only a little testing so far. I've used the Thermal Assistant for about 15 flights. I can do a better job when I'm paying attention, but it's an asset when I'm distracted with other matters. These include looking for other gliders (particularly if I've lost sight of them), retracting the propeller after a launch, taking pictures of the scenery, consulting a sectional chart, using the relief tube, talking on the radio, and so on. It's not necessary to stare at the PDA, as I find a glance is sufficient to see about where the maximum lift was in the circle. This gets me "synchronized" with the thermal again. Same experience here. However, I've disabled the visual indicator and rely merely on the audible tones it generates. That helps keep my head out of the cockpit even more. I'll have to try that. I've reset the Thermal Assistant parameters to make it more sensitive, and to alert me when it's time to straighten out. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA www.motorglider.org - Download "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" |
