Interesting video but be careful about trying to hold down gliders that are determined to fly. A long time ago I think AGCSC had a serious injury to a member who decided, only after becoming airborne hanging on the wing tip, that letting go was a better idea. I think it was at Borrego Springs. Anyone remember the details?
