Yes. *LS6. *But I'm biased...

Where can I get a copy of the movie?? I've never seen it.

Try searching for zoozle for: *"The Sunship Game"

3 to choose from. Greatest Glider movie ever made. Saw it first at the
Air Sailing XC Camp at ASI Reno this summer. And yes the 4 constants
are; Girls in Bikinis, Libelles, Cessnas, and doing ANYTHING TO WIN!

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 was at that contest when I was 11 years old. Alas, too young to
fully appreciate Libelles, Cessnas or even Girls in Bikinis.

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.

Yeah, like the shot of the guy smoking a cigarette - in flight.

Tony

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.

Interesting observation.

Gliders evolved and Cessna's remained dinosaurs. I think we have
racing to thank for that. Racing improves the breed.

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!

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.

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.
