Launching a Vento glider from hot air balloon

Quite a cool video. Ever wanted to fly at high altitude? Hire a hot air balloon!

Awesome, first come to my mind is batt run out of juice. But the pilot land it...

Nice video.... but I think it would be more impresive if the vento was not powered.... But seriously, beautiful sight from up high....

Same sentiment. But I noticed he kept the glider above the balloon most of the time and he needed the hot air balloon to land first before he can land his glider so a powered glider is probably his backup to restore height. Yet I suppose he still have risk involved with propellers spinning around not bursting his own balloon as that would be disastrous.
