Let's see...

A group of glider jockeys, of all ages, working together as a team,
having FUN (I know I know, not allowed in most soaring environs). Yep.

The business about assembling the glider in minimum time
is all well and good. Entertainment for a slow afternoon.
As I mentioned, the 1-26 fanatics did the same thing, and
with a smaller crew and rather more complicated assembly.
The difference in behavior arises after the assembly was
(allegedly) complete. Hey, there's a reason all those
1-26 guys get to be so old!

I can't see that actually launching the glider immediately
proved anything, except that they were willing to bet
their butts (well, at least one guy was willing to make
that bet) on what they had just done.
