Really look forward to reading...

Ground launch payout winch systems...Are they suitable for gliders? by [email protected]
It seems that a payout winch similar to those used for hang gliders might be useful as a more efficient alternative to auto tows. You can make better use of the runway length and have perhaps a safer launch with proper calibration. Is anyone using such systems? Are they practical? Are they in fact...

The position of the shoulder strap anchors aft of the cockpit is high enough that no downward force...
