At the 18 meter Nationals in Uvalde this month one would imagine there were multiple in air-starts. The only one I had heard of that did not start was the jet on a Jonkers. Having owned several lawn mower sustainers, I wonder if it is feasible for a sustainer electric pylon, or would the weight be effectively the same as a self launch?

I'm working on conversion of ASW-24E from Rotax shaker to pylon mounted electric as I write this. Weight change will be about 8 lb and CG move forward..
