Albeit an interesting concept, it convinced it would be nice to have
a
really long runway, especially here in Colorado. I thought the
single
bladed prop on the display model an equally elegant solution.

Field elevation at 0e0 is 6200 msl, FWIW. How much higher are you
than
that?

(bitshift, etc to respond - if you dare! BWAHAHAHA!!!)

You do have a 7700ft runway. That might be long enough at 6200msl. We
have
5280 fence to fence, but it's not all what I'd call runway. Maybe use
the
CG hook for a winch launch, then motor away;^)


Frank, just add the afterburner. 150 pounds of thrust will get the glider
moving smartly. It's just like a winch launch without the winch. Just
kick
the tires, light the fire and then run out of gas at 2500 AGL over the
airfield.

Of course, there's a two meter flame with shock diamonds coming out the
tailpipe . That'll probably wake everyone up for miles.

Gives a whole new meaning to the word "Silent".
