Frank-

As far as "overuse of airbrakes to hold position," I believe the brakes came out three times in the video. Because some of cameras used had extremely wide fields of view (170 degrees), the relative distances are distorted. The shot from the tail mount camera on my glider as I approached the Stemme from the rear looks like the separation was quite large. In actuality, I pulled the brakes open when a minor gust put the Stemme tailwheel within three feet vertically and eight feet horizontally from my canopy. In all other cases when the brakes came out, the separation was similar.

And as far as Sean's and "goto's" comments and criticisms, I don't really care. We made the video we could with our own funding and with the folks who were willing to dedicate themselves to the project for the love of the sport. When YOUR movie comes out, I will gladly watch it. And I won't snipe at your efforts, something you might consider, although from the nature of your posts, I can tell that bitching is about all you guys can offer.
