Just a note to let you all know that I have just spent the morning with Mike Smith, on Paul Natons latest "DVD" production SOARING MASTER CLASS 1.
This is another fine example of Soaring how toos, the why for and of course the why nots from Mikes perspective. With down to earth, common sense, laymans explanations, presented in an “Out at the Field”. It starts off with a basic CG setup, then on the throws, mixing, speeds, His general Tx Setup,thermal flying, windy day flying, ballasting and so on.
The emphasis being on your flying style, and how to enhance it. There is a lot of renforcement of the things that a lot of us already know and practice, Mike does a really nice job of relating those things that we try to share with our flying buds, and he demonstrates, his angle on a variety of basic to advanced setups and flying technics.
This production is another welcome addition to my reference libarary,
Just thought you should know. - Jack Strother- League of Silent Flight.
