Hi,

Very nice!

I created a similar film a few years ago which is available hehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6l0pFIGBYtk

Their new video is a true time-lapse film - which I prefer. *My camcorder
did something similar, but not quite the same. *It recorded for a fraction
of a second, then paused then repeated. *That made the video jerky, but the
nice part is that it includes sound.

John,

Some things you wouldn't have known from watching the video:

- The last 7 launches are non-contestants who launched after the
contest was finished (starting with the Jantar)
- Every contestant gridded on time and was there prior to starting
tows.
- There was a pilots meeting on the grid prior to tows starting.
- The first glider pulling into the middle of the line was a relight
that was placed at the end of his class.
- The second glider pulling into the middle of the line was another
relight and was placed at the end of the contestants line.

I think some were offended by your blanket condemnation prior to
knowing the entire situation. Our sport is hard enough to sustain
without beating on each other.

Best regards,
Craig Funston
