Attracting the kids
1) How the hell do you get qualified to fly off a winch in the US ? Where in the US are you? There are a couple locations in the Northwest where you can get Ground Launch Endorsements. 2) How much land do you need to run a winch launch that can get the glider to 1500-2000 ft altitude ? Most of my Winch launching was don on about 4000 feet of cable. Launches were between 800-1200feet. Which is great for training. (Wnd conditions can vary the alititude siginficantly) I have done AutoTows out in the desert where about 2 miles and 3000 feet of cable will get you 2000 feet Brian CFIIG/ASEL
