What do thermals look like? A simpler thermal detector is a thin mylar streamer (1/2 mil mylar tape from an old C120 cassette works great) on the end of a 12-16' Breen fishing pole, staked into the ground, is cheap and reliable. There is a landing tape and thermals will work their way around the field. Especially for the thermal options. We have again implemented a lot of innovative ideas in the Lentus. I have a highstart and would also be using a winch "with a light foot on the pedal". 0/8. I'll eventually switch over to a FRsky RX with Variometer or use a Radiomaster ER6GV.

If you're near a club with launch equipment then disregard. Two ways of doing this are; large amounts of washout at the wing tips, combined with a low pitching moment airfoil, or an airfoil with a reflexed ('S' shaped) camber line (eg MH78) which needs much smaller amounts of washout.
