I did all my training as far as passenger carrying , using a reverse auto
tow system. If there is runway length available, I think nothing will beat it for speed and low cost.We regularly got 3000 foot launches using 6000 foot of 16 guage piano wire. Ken Reynolds

And there is nothing to encourage take off like two tons of pickup heading towards you at a closing speed of over 100mph ... I think both the glider and the pilot are launched by fear. Ian PS But seriously, did a reverse pulley autotow at Connel a few years back, very easy smooth launch. --
