Admittedly that needs a dedicated team (winch driver, cable truck driver, launch marshal and one or two guys on golf buggies... And a site where this is practical, plus enough pilots to support the operation... All not available in many locales. Sure, but from what I see on r.a.s, winching seems to be making some headway in America. The minimum launch requirement is three people: winch driver, launch marshal/wing runner and the glider pilot who, if needed, can tow out the cable he launches from. IOW, not much different from aero towing except that nobody in their right mind or half out of it would ever start a winch launch with a wingtip on the ground. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org |
