Default Gliding at Camphill - CGD - 1523.jpg (1/1)

Soon to be gliding at Mayville NY
'63 Piper towing a '63 Schleicher K 6 CR


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.
