Slightly more on Paul's original topic, at the site where the bungee clip
was shot (Long Mynd in UK) on slightly less windy days, they winch launch
to around 300' straight onto the hill.

No 'Mini-Winch' though - they use a standard, full power Skylaunch winch,
which the also use on their longer runs when the wind is not on the hill.
