Love the idea. I have thought maybe of being a sniffer for one day where we can launch first and show the rest of the field what a launch looks like. There are many pilots in the USA who have been flying for decades but who have still not seen a winch launch in person.

Another idea would be to hold a Regionals or OLC/XC Camp and it is limited to 30 gliders. We bring in a second winch and launch the entire fleet only by winching. Would be fun.
