Somehow the replies are falling on the uav thermalling techniques subject?
anyway, The POH does address winch launching, and I belive that seeking out information from others who have actually flown the type in this regime has great value to me, especially since I have another glider which was spun and damaged off winch TWICE, while this other glider is an early standard austria, it is similar enough to warrant additional preparation.
Larry T, this SHK is your old ship, and thanks for your info, Frank W, I enjoyed our conversation and thanks for calling.
Anyone else that wants to add, please do.

Thanks,
Scott W.
