Default Anyone Ground-Launched a Russia Glider?

Don't ground launch with a nose hook, super dangerous.

Also, if you can afford a Russia, look for something with more
performance for the same price. Like a Libelle or a Std, Cirrus.

.... and, all H.201 Std Libelles have both nose and belly hooks.
So do H.205 Club Libelles, which are cheaper, have bigger cockpits,
better airbrakes and a little less performance.

I can't comment about Std. Cirrii I've never flown one and there are none
at my club. We currently have two Std Libelles and one Club Libelle on
site.
