So, without any physical changes, we could use 3200' launching to the North by staging in the underrun, or South with the winch in the underrun. If we went to the effort of extending a takeoff runway/winch path to the North, we could add another 1000' or so our available distance.


GBSC Occasionally winches out of 8b5 and have 3500 feet available with
the over run. On light wind days, get get about 1200 altitude - enough
to get out of town on a good day. IMHO, the extra 1000 ft available to
you would be worth it.
