We averaged 1,000 to 1,500 ft launches but did get to much higher on occasion. (1 Mile Runway). We replaced the system with a Skylaunch winch using stranded steel wire. This is much more repeatable and gets launches between 1,400 and 1,800 feet with a much greater availability. I was once winched in an SF-25 there. It was pretty calm but we still made 1300 ft. The ride up was quite odd: climbing out steeply with a stationary three-blader in front. We glided around for 400 feet before hitting the starter and flying back to Nympsfield. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
