Thank you all for your quick and thoughtful responses. Every thought
expressed has value. I own a good winch, but have not made even one
launch with it.. I need help.
Yes, the 2-33 back seat is tough compared to our DG 500. 5 hours in
the DG is better than 30 mins in the 2-33. Fifteen 2-33's (if they
could be found), roughly equals the investment in another DG. The
economics have are out of whack.
I'll study every one of your words againand again. Our strip is only
600 ft wide by one mile and we have done auto tows. Fishing the line
out of the desert weeds creats time and labor lost, but the tows were
successful.
Please continue to think about creating more instructors and
rewarding them in a better way.
More instructors would solve the problem of only one instructor trying
to fit in some personal flying as well. I dropped out of a club for
that exact reason. Fred.
