Thermal Gambler
Choose the model, read the air, launch anyway. A simplified educational simulator estimating flight duration, drift, recovery and panic level.
Flight-fate simulator
Pick the model, read the conditions, choose when to launch.
A simplified educational flight-fate simulator. It estimates duration, drift, recovery difficulty and panic from class, wind, thermals, terrain and strategy.
⚠This tool is educational. It does not replace field assessment or safety rules.
Launch essentials
Model class
Free flight
Scenario
F1A (towline glider), wind 12 km/h E, thermal moderate, strategy wait and see.
Launch location (optional)
Map shows an approximate drift cone (±15° uncertainty). Scenario values, not a measurement.
Quick tips
- Less wind = less drift and easier model recovery.
- Moderate thermals offer the best balance of duration and control.
- A safe strategy reduces risk but shortens the flight.
- Contest mode adds pressure — practice without it until you master the scenario.
