Downhill gravity launch video
Someone recently posted a link to a video that showed
a glider simply rolling downhill until it picked up flying speed. I can't seem to find that video. Help?

This movie along with a selection of others on a range of gliding subjects can be found on her site at http://irene.vanderzwan.org/Site_Ire...s/Welcome.html. The 'Bungey' film is he http://irene.vanderzwan.org/Site_IreneFilms/Bungey.html

Bill Edit: Although, when I now review the thread, I see that the question was about a glider simply rolling down a hill without being assisted by a bungee... The videos are still worth watching though. Wavecamp's my favourite...
