So what are your flying cheers? I've been known to sing the Goofy
Glider song while thermalling myself.

It reminded me of the *nightmares* I have about flying except for one
thing: Did you notice Goofy has three fingers on each hand at the
beginning when he is reading the manual, but four on each hand when he
is counting to ten?

I've never grown extra fingers while gliding!

Other than that, a technically adequate demonstration of glider launch
methods, including gravity launch.

Are you the pilot at 1:40 into this video?

Did you also try the launch-by-horse method?
