What kind of auto or truck have you seen launch a sailplane with?

Would a Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 do the trick?

What are the requirements to become endorsed for auto launching?

What are the recommended rope lengths and types of pulley's for a 3900
ft runway?

Reverse pulley makes best use of the available length and is quickest
retrieve.

See http://www.coloradosoaring.org/think...ng/default.htm,
both John Campell's notes and Reverse Pulley.

Yes the Dodge will do. 4WD only needed on grass. 2WD is fine for
hard surface.
