To be fair, there was a 450 chevy at the other end of the lineNice,who needs a motor
LOL. Glider people tend to ignore that fact.To be fair, there was a 450 chevy at the other end of the line
Viewing this video I found myself wondering how long the cable is, and at what altitude is it released.
Little over 5000ft, 5000lb Nylon line. Release just about 2000ft agl. No help from calm wind
That sounds about right. Normally even with a slight headwind you should be able to achieve 1/2 the rope length in altitude.
I'm curious, where?
I've logged a couple thousand hours in gliders but never a winch launch... Color me envious. Yes, grass is the best.
