The K21 seems to climb as well as anything on a winch
launch, despite being a bit big and heavy. Probably
only a K8 will beat it.

We have a couple of DG1000s and they don't climb quite
as well. If you pull the stick well back, a sort of
pitching motion seems to set in as though the elevator
is stalling.

More high was possible, but airspace class C begins
at 750m above our
airfield so I had to release the cable.

I think the ASK21 gets the best high on winchlaunch.
Our DG1000 always get=

25% less high.

S=F6nke, what speed do you fly at on the winch, and
how much back
pressure do you apply to the stick?
