Evan, with respect, we don't need "Negative Experts" to tell us why it won't work. We need people with the imagination to see how to make it work.


Bill, with respect, you can't change physics. Our club has a fantastic grass field - but is only 2400' long, with roads and an interstate at each end. So you tell us how a winch will work - because we would love to have one!

And yes I have winch launched - in Germany, France, and the US. And what all those operations had in common was a LONG runway (over 4000').

So we will stick to our trusty Pawnee and Super Cub for now.
