    What a truly beautiful video! Nothing more enjoyable than spending a nice day with family. Between the flying location, the models you build and fly and the amazing video work of your wife, I don't think you will ever see a better video of any RC flying! Let alone the beautiful vintage gliders, flying in formation at such close proximity to the camera. Amazing! Something about your videos seem to make all the troubles of the world fade away. Please make more. We all need them!

The shots where these aviatrixes are silhouetted as they launch and re-launch these entrancing floaters - perfection. All of this vid is good, but as I said, there's bits with the gals launching the planes that are truly magical to my discerning eye. Bravo.

    Brings back memories, not these exact gliders, but similar stuff. One I spent the most time flying a bit later was a Craft Air SD-100, about two decade later stuff...still monokote built up, but ASA fuse. Lots and lots of quiet hours just winching up and thermalling the the day away. :-) So serene, like this. I remember flying pulse rudder and even some Orbit (IIRC) reed servo stuff...THAT was pretty old, one channel at a time and no proportional.
