That's a good idea, Thanks!

I will add those "alternative" launch methods ASAP


There is also "gravity launching", i.e. just let
the glider roll down on a slope, after some initial
impulse, until it reaches the take-off speed. Not very
usual, but the subject was recently discussed in this newsgroup
with some references and pictures or movies of such
launches.
