How much do clubs charge for "winch" launches, if they have a winch? Do most
clubs have one?

I was fascinated by the farm machinery type launchers (winches) in the
Glider Ride thread. Some of them looked like very nice($$) farm machinery.

Can't touch those at commercial operations for less than $50/hr, plus the
tow to get started.

As for how long can you fly?? depends on the weather.. hot summer sun in
OKC.. most all day.. the "lift" should start by noon and fly until sunset.
