Here's a link to a video of us doing a 2500ft launch at the Alvord
Desert, Oregon, USA. We go to this 8X15 mile dry lake in SE Oregon
every July. The lake bed is at 4000msl and Steens Mountain rises out
of the western edge to 10,000ft msl.

That's nuthin'. Some time back in the 60s I had a 'payout' launch in an
Olympia 463 to 2800ft in a 40kt wind. I did a vertical circuit afterwards as
turning down wind didn't seem a good idea. It was a winch which I had
designed as well which made it even better!
