Nice !

Note the wool tuff is straight back indicating co-ordinated flight. This is the mark of a proficient pilot as the tendency for inexperienced pilots is to unconsciously yaw away from lead.


The best way to maintain your line when flying formation in a glider is for the lead to set up a glide so that you need a little spoiler to maintain position. That way if you fall back you close the spoiler and if you are moving up you add more spoiler
