All,
I tried the zoozle link, and it just takes you to a service that you have to pay for. I decided it was worth it, so I paid, only to find that The Sunship Game wasn't available anywhere. I feel somewhat scammed by this post. The second link, at torrentportal, doesn't find this movie either. How are you guys doing this?

I also cannot seem to find a way to download this video. I've tried the various bit torrent routes but either it's not working or I'm too dense to figure it out. I really want this film! It seems to hark back to an age I'd love to get a glimpse of. Looking for a simplified way to get it.

LOL on take off no less. Many pilots back then use to smoke while they
flew. Ashtrays in sailplanes, just imagine, but it is true. On Aug 13, 8:00*pm, TonyV wrote: tienshanman wrote: .... I really want this film! It seems to hark back to an age I'd love to get a glimpse of. Yeah, like the shot of the guy smoking a cigarette - in flight. Tony |

Yeah, but that doesn't account for the fact that the cars in the movie have evolved too. The single engine airplane (and light twin) world is still mucking with fuel mixtures, prop speeds, cowl flaps, manual waste gates, and the like. Gimme a break! Tony |

What we have to thank for that is the wonders of government "safety" regulation. Car engines and parts are much more reliable than aviation engines, which are stuck in 1950s -- but "certified" technology. It's not worth it to certify new designs so we get stuck with the old ones. Ultralights and light sport seem finally to be using modern technology -- because they don't have to spend a million bucks certifying it with the FAA. John Cochrane |

John Cochrane It will be interesting to see what becomes of Danny Howells attempts to certify the LightHawk sailplane. If anyone has the wherewithall to do it it is him, and the LightHawk is an amazing machine. I wish him the best. Brad |
