TV Ad featuring Klaus Ohlmann and an Antares 23E
It did not look to me like a gravity launch would have worked at the
airport in the commercial considering how close to the end of the runway the glider released the rope and how hard (apparently) the car was trying to pull. Still it was a heart-pounding video...

Great and costs next to nothing. BravoMike -- Dan, 5J
