Youth in soaring, and anything

I realize that not everybody will push his water- laden $180k glider into the winch queue but perhaps there are many pilots perfectly happy to do a couple of launches and maybe catch a thermal for a local flight. At my club we do both winch launches and aerotows. Winch launches predominate, with aerotows being largely "relegated" to (a minority of) trial flights, and during competitions when we need to get 50 gliders up within an hour. The number of "relights" we need is surprisingly small. By and large, if you are going to be able to soar at all, then you can do it from a winch launch. |
