As for Gary Boggs, the only thing I can suggest is to go to Germany
for a summer and learn the trade. Winches, how to run them, including
the infrastructure. (Telephone)


Why telephone rather than radio? Radio let everybody know what is
happening, rather than only the two persons at bot end of telephone.
Likely mandatory when there is some other activity in parallel (aero
tow, power flying ...).

On the other hand, with more reasonable selflaunchers coming out, the
winch effort may not be the answer anymore in the US. There are enough
reasons mentioned in this thread.


What does "reasonable" mean here? Selflaunchers are a way to increase
the cost of flying, winch is a way to decrease it.
