the trend is............
Doesn't a winch launch use more fuel than a self-launch? And won't the fuel he uses to commute to work eat into any savings from winch launching? -- Eric We average 1/2 liter of fuel per winch launch. This has been the average over the last 10 years. We launch from a 1000 meter field and get 350-400 meter launches. We launch everything from K8's to Nimbus 3DT's. The consumption goes up if you are only launching double seaters but overall 1/2 liter per launch is the average. Bob
