Good matches! Real nice job with the video, Mike.

Ron C., was that an old Lite-and-Lemony you were flying?  LL~

Well, obviously you can't tell who's who and what's happening, but it gives a good overview of the quick-paced action of F2D.

In the 26-minute video I recommend the following highlights:

4:20 through 5:26 - a Big collision, followed by untangling of the mess, a half-lap streamer running race, and relaunch within about 3 to 5 seconds of each other.

12:30

15:06

25:30 - a crash followed by a very quick relaunch.

Hi Mike,
   thanks for posting the video, and nice meeting you last weekend.
   Hope we get the chance to fly each other some time, my early exit from speed limit prevented it this year  :)

  Any chance you can post a picture of "the snake"? Would like to figure out if it actually was a rattler.

That was what I figured out as well, just wanted to confirm.  ;D
