Default Glider Video Facing Backwards

I'm not sure a tripod would help; engine vibration and rough air would
each introduce more bouncing around. An electronic stabilizer is probably
the best bet.

Dog". Nice and powerful two seat-er.

It has one other interesting attribute. Due to it being an
observation plane, the rear stick can be removed and the rear seat
back repositioned so that the passenger can face backwards. This is
great to view a glider takeoff.

Here is my first attempt at taking a video through the rear window,
all set to music. I reduced the ~10 min tow to ~2 minutes.

I need to see if I can rig up a tripod rather than hand hold the
camera. No, I wasn't playing the guitar while filming.

Thanks, John DeRosa
