![]() "bagmaker" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... A typical winch launch yeilds about 1/3 of the runway/field available, this is a fantastic result, Bill! Perhaps we should be measuring the launch as a percentage of field length, then there would actually be a record available for everyone to shoot for, regardless of locality. So... With a runway of 3100m and a launch of 1718, the current known record is 55.42% Get out there and break it!! 950m steel cable + 350hp winch + 20km/h wind + ASK21 = 750m or 78%. More high was possible, but airspace class C begins at 750m above our airfield so I had to release the cable. I think the ASK21 gets the best high on winchlaunch. Our DG1000 always gets 25% less high. Greetings, Sönke |
