Default Mini-Winch for FES

Hi Steve,

An auto launch is a great option on a hard-surface runway, but not ideal on a grass runway like we have at our lovely little gliderport. The airport management and owners wouldn't want us tearing-up the grass.

Best Regards,

Paul Remde

The "mini winch" could also be a car and an air tow (200 foot or so) rope. Keeps you from having to buy and maintain additional equipment.
