I don't know if Rolf's response was intended as sarcasm but 'The idea is to fly
in air that's going up' is pretty good advice. If only we ever taught students
this simple maxim then everything would be a lot easier i.e.think about where
you're pointing the glider rather than meandering around meaninglessly.

"The idea is to fly in air that's going up."
Wow - that's where I've gone wrong for the last 50 years. Thanks Mr. Borgelt
for that invaluable piece of advise.

Mark,
The idea is to fly in air that's going up. You should not be hearing the
sink sound much. If you are it is time to go somewhere else and be in
cruise mode while doing this when you won't hear the sink sound.

It is extremely important when trying to center weak and broken
thermals which is why I like a vario with a sink sound as it provides
full information on the bad air as well as the good air while doing
this.
