Biggest Glider Ever Launched via Winch?
I don't know about winch launch, but this looks like just an exciting
launch, with a 7500 lb gross wt. glider: http://www.pointvista.com/WW2GliderP...rretrieval.htm wrote: In our winch clinic last week, the paraglider folks we shared the dry lake with, seemed surprised we could get something as big as a Blanik off the ground with a long steel cable. Their tandem instructor asked our CFIG, "what was the largest gross weight sailplane ever ground launched". Never really thought about it before.
