my buddy j ebb flying over this hugh 1000 ft deep hole in az in his recent return to flying. anyways i thought it was pretty neet to see . no music yet but will get there .you look great j ebb i know your just having a great time with it.
Nice one j ebb! Great to see some dead stick landing practice! I am a big proponent of practicing engine off landings and it is pretty easy with a soaring trike with big tandem wing. Jozinko, I'm going to take a guess at answering your question. Yes, I think there are times when you could encounter some bubbles (thermals) in vicinity of a hole like that. Depending on sun angle and solar incidence within a hole like that it may be that predominant shading in the hole could create ideal conditions for some sink into the hole. But that sink can also serve to create a pressure imbalance and provide triggers for bubbles lifting off around the perimeter of the hole. Water in bottom of hole would certainly be cooler than ground and can attract sink. So I think you could have a cyclical sink - lift off type setting particularly at certain times of the day.

I heard, there are a big thermal activity over a big hole. Is it right?
