Amazing Winching Weekend in Utah

In a nutshell, we had a fun and safe weekend flying $3,500 worth of aero tows for only $100 in fuel and $100 in rope reserves while putting big smiles on lots of faces. It's good to see that more people are finding the value of winch launching. Three years ago I did nearly all my training up to solo status using winch launches (around 60 flights) for under $250 USD ($3.70 USD per launch). The only gripe I have with winch launching is that the gliders I have looked at so far are not supposed to be winch launched with water ballast on board which limits the usefulness of the winch on booming days.
