One of the few cool videos that inspired me to get back into flying:

That was one of my favourite videos too.

I can't embed it, but here's something relaxing. (maybe).
(Edit 28 May 2016, different video link. The original in the post below.)

Thanks.
Now I'm going to have a sleepless night,
trying to figure out how you did that :)

Don't lose any sleep - I do enough of that for everyone on this forum and much more. Here's what the last two videos look like with "Disable BBCode" checked:

http://vimeo.com/149492173

And you can also see the coding if you click "QUOTE" to begin composing a reply - or just to see the coding.

The identifiers for the two videos are:
ZRHTds9QCZw
149492173

Just plug:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
and
http://vimeo.com/
in front for YouTube and Vimeo respectively.

And it never hurts to eliminate an "s" from an "https" - although here it doesn't seem to make any difference.

OK.
I'll give it a try.
Yohoo, that worked.

Great job there, old boy! Now give it another go.

"Weak link 2"

Looks like fun.

Notice that a towline failure looks just like a weak link success. Except, of course, that the former is very dangerous, and the latter improves the safety of the towing operation.

Check out the disappearing "release" actuator:

Must be some kind of magic trick going on there.
