How long is your runway?
Mike Schumann "Stefan" wrote in message ... Mike Schumann wrote: How long of a runway do you need for an effective / safe winch and/or auto tow launch environment? I can only talk for winch launch. Safety is not a problem. The problem is that you must have enough height above the winch to reach a thermal. How much this is depends on your site. E.g. at our field, we usually reach about 300-350 metres AGL. This is usually not enough for us, with few exceptions. 100 metres more would do it. So we are stuck to aerotow. Stefan
