Weak link for winch launch - 1-26E???
I looked over the 1-26 pilot's manual that's available for our club's
1-26E, but there is no mention of what strength weak link shall be used for winch launching. Anyone know what this is and where I can find documentation to support it? Mark Remove extra "hot" to reply direct

All the 1-26' I have seen so far don't. Can a 1-26 be winch launched by the nose hook? Uli Neumann

the nose hook is not to far forward.. the 1-26 can be launched by the
current hook, the altitude achieve may not be as high as possible with a true CG hook BT "Ulrich Neumann" wrote in message om... Mark Zivley wrote in message om...

Some of the Seymour boys reportedly used the 1-26 hook for ground launch and
for kiting for hours in New York many years ago.
