Level-wing flight inside the thermal will get you more upwards push than a continuous hard bank angle.

- Rygian 4y agoDiameter of the thermal vs loss of lift when banking for a right turning radius. If the thermal is wide enough, any pattern could do. If it's too narrow, any attempt at flying a circle inside of it will become an exercise of keeping maybe just the tip of one wing inside the thermal.
