Default Science Channel - How It's Made - Gliders

It's on again today at 1300 PST, Direct TV channel 284 - - set to record - -
woohoo!

BTW, looks like I'll be on a Discovery Channel "Steve Fossett" feature that
is being produced. Don't know when it's going to be aired.

Took the photog around the Carson Valley in my Husky to get some air to
ground of the terrain and also some air to air shots of my blue and white
Husky, as they wanted video of something that looked similar to what Steve
was flying. So if someone sees it scheduled, I'd appreciate knowing when
etc.

Hoping they'll edit out whatever stupid remarks I made - - but I know that
won't likely happen (g). I did get them to do the interview with Minden's
one year old soaring FBO, "Soaring NV" in the background (you do what you
can to get free soaring press).

The subject line for the show is "Heated Skate Blades, Gliders, Hand

Skates are electric hockey skates, The glider is a Ventus 2cxt, Hand
Bells like those used by Christmas Beggers.

I watched it last night. It was very short, but a good presentation
of the basic construction techniques.
