So possible long term interest. 4 of us are planning on a winch training session next May; that might start something.

And yes, avgas is pretty cheap in the US - our club charges $24 for a 3000ft tow - so we are spoiled.

To fully use a winch, we would have to make some infrastructure changes - theoretically we could have up to 4000ft available launching to the North, perhaps 2700ft to the South. That, plus the economics of a modern winch, might be what it takes to get our club into winching.

So, a work in progress....

Cheers,
