Isn't this cool!

Has anyone as the SSA contacted them to get them a real cross country ride in Minden or somewhere awesome in an Arcus M?

FlightTest would produce a great video of the flight and (unlike soaring) it would be seen by millions of non soaring people around the world. They have 300,000 YouTube followers. This is what they do!

How about we get Bruno an Arcus M in Logan this spring? Or maybe Pete Alexander is interested?

This is a HUGE OPPORTUNITY. Contact me if interested. I know them from the Toledo RC show we did an SSA booth at last year and we discussed this a bit then. Or, feel free to call them yourself!

We should get them all free glider ratings! They would document the process.

Do we know where that was filmed? Trying to read the side of the winch, it looks like the old AGCSC which?

It is the old AGCSC winch which was rebuilt by Roman Wrosz. It's now at the Tripple Tree Aerodrome.
