The winch is a skylaunch winch.

Nice video but unfortunately they never actually showed the car
pulling as the glider was climbing... always separate shots. *Sort of
fizzled the enthusiasm of seeing it actually pull the glider.

Just one long shot of both the car pulling and the glider rolling
would have done it but I didn't even get that much


In a shot that is only a few seconds long, looking down and left out
of the cockpit, you can see a speck on the grass that might be the car
heading toward the glider, when the glider is a couple hundred feet up
(I'm guessing). Perhaps in a better resolution video it would clearly
be the car, but the shot is VERY short.
