Tom from Germany sends a note
Dear soaring friends,
My Name is Tom Bode from Hamburg (GER) and I´m a enthusiastic vintage glider modeler.
I just want to tell you my rapturousness about your great hompage- it´s just fantastic! Specially the Articles, Documentations and Tips are outstanding!
I also have two Websites, a private one: http://www.balsafluegel.de/ where you can see a lot about my flying stuff,
and my new semi-commercial site http://www.woodwings.de/ where I try to sell a few cnc-part kits of my Ka6e and the DFS Reiher.
Maybe it´s interesting for your community and if you would set a link, it would make me happy.
For shure I´ll set a link to your great site - If you don´t object.
Sorry for my bad English and thanks for your great Website!

New Zealand Gliding Grand Prix
This has been taking place over recent days, but my reason for raising the links are the videos you will find on the sites. They managed to give TV coverage of the event by combining in flight shots from a helicopter, Computer graphics and sailplane logging software to show just what was happening, all displayed on a giant screen.
The first site comes with a warning. There are 7 videos displayed on the page and all will load as you got to the link
The second gives a selection of two videos, repeats of what are on the previous site. Go here
