This video is off topic, but since it was made by a glider pilot, me, I thought it would be appropriate to share it with y'all.

Branko,

Great idea, it's good to see you, at least in video as we may not have a region contest this year. Bummer!

Mike,

Tanks. Yes, this year is definitely a writeoff and I had three contests lined up, including R9.

Stay safe my friend!

Looking past the immediate difficulties... Maybe I could use a face shield to keep frost off my canopy on my next high altitude wave flight.

You could also hang your yawstring INSIDE the canopy to reduce drag and avoid making it look like a windshield wiper.
