I spend a lot of time doing winch training. One of the big
misunderstandings I encounter is the assumption that all winch launches are
made with full-up elevator. That's why I reacted to the earlier post.

There is at least one large club in England which teaches this as the
right way to winch launch. They aren't worried about spins, because
their gliders are unspinnable and they aren't worried about cable
breaks because they chaneg the cables regularly. So that's all right
then.
