How to get maximum height on a winch launch?

Actually if we had better designed winches Bill would be correct. Unfortunately the gliding movement certainly in the UK, but also in Europe, seems to have taken the "Easy" option of Skylaunch winches. 400hp and auto Transmission mean that the pilot has little control of the airspeed during the launch. Too fast? ease back, go even faster! PF 400HP is good. Automatic transmissions are evil.
