as many different ways people come up with.. they still fall into the 3
basic categories:
tow, ground, self

there was a video on a European web page.. of a glider bring dropped from
balloon.. it was one of the newer micro light ones.. I think..

I am interested in getting a sailplane and wondering what are the various
ways to launch. I am aware of the traditional methods.
Example= Steep downhill runway? Maybe I had too much coffee this morning!!
I live on Kauai and there are no Gliders on this Island at present.
