Now, if the dragon is trying to gain altitude, each little rise will be more than each little drop, but the increase and decrease in speed will tend to balance out, so the dragon will go higher but not faster overall. Also, on the power stroke, the dragon will speed up slightly, and will slow down a bit on the recovery stroke. On the recovery stroke, of course, the torso drops a bit. Dragons with longer necks tend to keep their heads level, so their head bobs up and down in relation to their torso (it’s really the torso going up and down), but stays level in a global sense. On the power stroke the dragon’s torso rises slightly, and speeds up. When the dragon flaps its wings, there is a power stroke (downward) and a recovery stroke (wings return to top position). So if you see a dragon gliding in a circle, it is usually rising, gliding in a straight line, falling. When in an updraft, dragons generally glide in a circle, to stay above the ‘hot spot’ and continue to take advantage of the updraft. Gliding dragons generally glide downward, unless they are in an updraft, in which case they glide upward. Dragons tend to keep their necks straight when flapping, and look around when gliding. Either the dragon is climbing, power diving or gaining speed, in which case it’s flap flap flap flap… or the dragon glides on updrafts. There’s no flap, glide, flap, glide, kind of motion. Dragons either flap their wings or glide, they don’t combine the two motions.
