And in part I do think that we have taken a wrong road with high wing
loading. for example with the Monarch we are able to tow it aloft with 160
lbs of tension at a speed of about 15 mph with a wind down the runway of
about 10 mph. This requires a very small rope and small horsepower.


Nothing better than runing 125 kts between clouds with a 50 kg/m^2
wing loading in my ASW-27 after a $2 winch launch on my club's 280 hp
