Interesting filming technique - but that's the most disorganized, slap-
dash contest launch I've ever seen. -John On Nov 9, 12:43 am, Frank Whiteley wrote: Posted on Facebook http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQRTQ...feature=autofb |

Really? What was wrong with it? It looked pretty much like every
contest I've ever been to... Boggs On Nov 9, 4:32*am, jcarlyle wrote: Interesting filming technique - but that's the most disorganized, slap- dash contest launch I've ever seen. -John |

EPH Contest 2010 time elapsed grid and launch
Hi,
Very nice! I created a similar film a few years ago which is available he http://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.

They were down one tow plane but still managed to launch in about an hour. Even with my relight. Also the gliders at the end are not contest gliders launching. Brian HP16T N16VP |

In the contests I've flown we had a definite grid time, which occurred
well before the sniffer launches. If your plane wasn't there at grid time, you went to the end of the line when you arrived. We also would never let a tow plane wait. If you weren't ready to launch when the tow plane came and you were number one, you'd be pushed out of the grid and go to the end of the line. Further, no one would ever be allowed to push a glider across an active runway after the launch had started. These things aren't being done in this video, which is why I called it disorganized and slap-dash. -John |

Looked like a fun time to me. Kirk 66 |

These things aren't being done in this video, which is why I called it disorganized and slap-dash. Well, they've been pushing gliders across that active runway during the launch for at least 35 years, so it's more organized than it appears. It's also a glider-only runway, and there are two other large runways with landable taxiways for airplanes and gliders. All the contests I've flown there, about 25 over a 30 year period, the gridding and launching went the way you think it should. I wasn't there for the one in the video, but it would be a surprise to me if it was disorganized and slapdash - never was the times I flew there. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "Transponders in Sailplanes - Feb/2010" also ADS-B, PCAS, Flarm http://tinyurl.com/yb3xywl - "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation Mar/2004" Much of what you need to know tinyurl.com/yfs7tnz |
