Default Super fast assembly and launch...


Agree with Uncle Fuzzy and Bruce.

And it appears to be one of the safest assemblies I've seen. I'd have
taken the tow, if there was lift.

And I've been waiting 40 post for someone to point out one detail...
Where did the trailer go? This is evidence that there is more to it than
the video shows. It may not even be the same assembly/launch, not that
I'm doubting it was done in the time claimed. Camera right is the only
option for the trailer and it seems strange to take it that way. And I
bet they still did not do a PCC on this autohookup glider, and gosh, it
worked out OK this one time. On the other hand, it would only add a few
seconds to do it with a crew so attentive to detail.

Surprised again at how quickly some can take the fun out of a post, and
presumably soaring as well. There have been llllloooooonnnnnnggggg
discussions about PCC procedures on here before, and much of that was
dribble anyway.

I'm for safety!
