You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Just because those who have

Here, a guy (Mario Hytten) is trying to build soaring marking against the

Explains a lot really. I donated to this kickstarter project. Why not?

If you really want to see the sport of soaring truly grow in a

Correct Sean, as I said yesterday it must be worth a punt, get your hands
in your pockets guys and donate the cost of your very next launch to the
Kickstarter fund. The very least you'll get out of it is a great video to
watch next time the clouds are down on the deck.
