Hi All,
The answer as to why we thermal with the yaw
string slightly outwards might have something to
with the fact we are flying a straight glider in
a curved pattern. If the glider had the same
curved shape as the thermals diameter the yaw
string would be central in a balanced turn. As
the string is well to the front of the central
part of the glider it will be slightly outwards
when a yaw string centrally located
longitudinally would be straight at the same
time. Haven't worked out just how many degrees
and am sure Mike will shoot this explanation
down in flames but maybe worth a thought,

When circling in a thermal, do you
a) keep the string centered
b) fly with it pointing to the outside of the turn
c) why?
Your technique may not be doing what you think it is.
