I was sat in the back of a PA 28 recently, watching a really good instructor demonstrating stalls to a new student, and as he said "you will notice that one of the characteristics of the stall is a high rate of descent" we were going up like a rat in a drainpipe. Nearly p1$$ed myself laughing, but a salutary reminder of how strong the ups and downs can be in wave.
Fantastic for gliding though.....
Safe and happy flying, ECDI.
