Fascinating video - and it's a good thing they are models cuz the
photo plane damn near rammed the glider a couple of times! But having
done a lot of full size formation flying, in both power and gliders,
it's impressive what the modeling community is doing. Great video!

However, competent and trained pilots would have little trouble
duplicating this full scale - safely, and without the close calls.

It is a skilled bit of model flying though - a lot harder than doing
it in the real thing, IMHO.

Thanks for the vid.
