You fly above the hill with the wind, then dive into the lee. This is a positive shear and so you gain airspeed. Before the speed bleds off, you turn and climb(with the models they half loop) The free wind is now a head-wind and you again have a positive shear and gain airspeed. Repeat ad-Infinitum
Thanks. I think I get it now. I imagine that the whooping helps too
