Don Ingraham has shared some pictures of the winch clinic herehttp://www.crosscountrysoaring.com/welcome22.html A video of some of the launches is herehttp://www.soaringchapters.org/minnesota/mn_winch.wmv Frank Whiteley Can I suggest that the people taking the video might like to consider what would happen to the cable when it breaks under tension at just the wrong height. I've watched the cable snake along the ground alongside and (say) 40ft behind our winch. Quite entertaining (and even pretty), but I was glad I was off the ground in another vehicle! Tom Gardner
