Thank you for the great saiplane pictures! My first sailplane was a Ka-6E.

Markus,

Unfortunately I did not have time to watch the complete preparation of the
glider that day but given another few days of summer :-) I will try to get
some for you.

Camphill uses a ground winch to get the craft aloft and this gives quite a
high rate of climb so it is quite impressive. I have never been lucky enough
to see an aircraft towed start to a flight. It must make life a bit easier
by getting a lot higher prior to release.
