2) not quite true: pretty much all L-13 I have seen in operation in
Europe were used primarily in winch operations with the Y-bridle.



All my USA winch launches in the L-13 also used the bridle. It works
well but is a bit more tricky to hook up that a more common Tost CG
hook. There was nothing I was aware of about the characteristics of
the L-13 on a bridle that made it unsuitable for winch training.
