Well stated, Gary!

The first time I watched the video, it appeared the glider was just
gliding down from the ground launch and making the most out of the
ground effect. But I've watched other videos on YouTube and from the
camera angle given (the tow vehicle), it sure looks like he maintains
about a constant height above the ground.

The wave amplitude is shallow, but I think it is quite elegant.

Well done, Team Canada!

PS: Like the Smart Car for the ground launcher! :-)
PPS: Seems like they could have found a wider runway for this type of
work!
