Hello Boris,
Roach Dry Lake is about 6 miles long, I think, and they use about 2/3 of
that for launching. They use a truck with 1,800 feet of rope and
release altitudes are usually about 1,350 feet. They have the ground
launch weekends in April and October. Check here for details and
contact Las Vegas Valley Soaring Association directly for the latest
information.

Since I now have a Stemme, I don't need assisted launches any more, but
I may still come just because the people are so nice.
Regards,
Dan
