Hi Amy,

Not to worry too much about short car/long glider. My Falcon II Tandem is 20 feet long and my Volvo S40 is only a little longer than your car. Looks funny with 5 1/2 feet of glider sticking out in the front, but works fine - just don't run into trees, buildings when pulling into a parking space, don't pull all the way up to the next car when stopping at a traffic signal, etc. Experts have passed on the distribution of supports at different points along the leading edges, too.

Hope to see you with that spiffy new glider at a training hill soon!

Great Video.. Love to see those launches. You could see the turbulence pushing the gliders around. Nice timing with music and video! Nice landing.
