I too received the Secrets of Thermal Soaring video and watched it last night.
While Dave Thornburg was way ahead of his time, and did a good job in his Old Buzzard Soaring Video to explain the "unseen world of air movement" and "River of Air" concept, much has been learned about air movement (thermals in particular) the past couple of years due to advances in technology. In my opinion, Secrets of Thermal Soaring is a much-needed educational piece, which utilizes modern technology to examine thermals, featuring great, dirt-filled Dust Devils and color-enhanced video footage, which give you an actual "visual image" of BIG thermals in motion, which I have not ever seen before! Great job Paul Naton! Pastor Bill P.S. I don't think Paul even mentioned the words "slope", DS or "electric". (I could be wrong.) Very comforting. :) -----Original Message----- From: Bill Kuhl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 8:32 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [RCSE] Thermal Secrets Video Received my Thermal Secrets video yesterday, along with the scale soaring video and a VRQ T shirt. Watched the thermal video twice last night and let me say, Paul Naton has done a fantastic job on this one! The graphics are superb, as is the information. I have read the book "Understanding the Sky" by Dennis Pagen several times which is a great resource for thermal information, but still learned many new things from this video. What really amazed me is all the video of dust devils of many types and shapes. Paul, how did you ever find so many dust devils? Bill Kuhl RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
