So far, all of my glider launches have been by aero-tow. I would like to
broaden my experience a bit, and try some sort of ground launch. I'm trying
to interest my club here in San Francisco in trying auto-towing one
weekend. How much should we expect to spend on the gear? It basically comes
down to the tow-cable, doesn't it?

Ha, Fort Funston would work for that.....make a some sort of runway
next to the parking lot, all you would need is really 200 ft of
rope...and than you can stay airborne for quite some time....and it
would be cheap....
