One may find that the real estate acquisition for a 4,000' + runway to get a decent winch launch height is more expensive than a Pawnee. Two things: We already own the property, and you don't need a 4000' runway, just 4000' clear for the cable (as long as you only care about launching one way - to the North, in our case). If we wanted 4000' to the south, we would have to extend our runway to the North, enough to move and launch gliders; no impossible but not free. Kirk
