My observation is airplane pilots, which covers most of EAA folks, are
not looking for more labor-intensive ways to go flying. Even a towplane
and a tow pilot seems like one more pilot and aircraft than they are
interested in. For airplane oriented pilots, the cost of glider flying
is not the $dollars, but the time involved in doing it. So, how does
winch launching attract this demographic?
