Videos taken 15 June 2003 over Monticello Airport
during the JR Aerotow. The camera is taped atop
the glider's canopy. The instrument needles don't move,
but the sideslip yarn and Tilley hat sure do.
In the third video, the camera is lashed to an
(angled) wing strut of a Super Cub tug.
The 100cc Desert Aircraft engine rattles it around quite a bit.
