Beautiful flight and display - and wow - what a finish - fast low passes and then immaculate landing. I have a fondness for sail planes, having (v long ago) started my RC career with these - my largest was an 8' thermal soarer - fond memories. Still something about 'silent flight'. :)
I wonder if the technology exists to soar remotely. That would be something to have a laptop with all the input to detect thermals and use them to gain altitude. That may seem boring to some RC enthusiasts, but could prove useful to the community in onboard systems.
I like the idea of building a tug and towing other peoples gliders as offering a kind of service, but how do you protect the rudder? Lovely filming as always, Horst :)
