A number of our guys come out midweek and launch on the winch
with just the winchdriver and the pilot .
They use a carpet wrapped sawhorse to hold the wing up.
If they can not find the sawhorse they have used an empty cardboard box
to hold the wing up.Our winch uses polyprop rope and when the glider
starts to move it is at flying speed very quickly.

Hi Guys,

I'm curious if any of you guys have ever tried to self launch with no
wing man on a cg hook only glider. I have skids on my wingtips as
well. Would you put the wing that's on the ground further forward at
start? What's the technique!!
I think this is why having a cg hook is a disadvantage.

Regards,

Jerz
