Uncle Fuzzies take on Self Launchers

My take on self-launchers launchers

… is really pretty simple. A self launcher means you can launch whether there’s a tow plane or not. Period.
For me, that would mean I could launch from Jean, land somewhere, make camp (I love ‘ramp camping’), and launch the next day and fly back (conditions, skills, etc. permitting.)
Essentially equivalent to having a tug available for the next day at any field. If tugs were always available, I wouldn’t have any use for a self launcher.

While I’m feeling relatively coherent: FRONT LOAD FUN !!
Get the toys now, and play with them. I have been a renowned ‘cheap *******’ forever, and have managed to run myself up a great bank account, and no time to utilize it. I can’t fly any more, but I could damn well pay cash for a Stemme. I think I screwed up somehwere.
That said, my fun-meter has been pretty well pegged since joining the LVVSA IN 2001. Whether flying a 1-26, Speed Astir, or Janus, for me the result is pretty much a pegged fun-meter.
Hmmmm. Losing coherence. Hope this makes some sense to somebody

Cheers,
