Would you rather fly a Sailplane?

They sent the winch glider to you guystinfoil hat Highspeed xc guys
like you wouldn't mind a winch, it is just a certain population...
I'm not up on the details but it looks like we are on our second
airplane motor purchase in as many years. I can't see how small clubs
can afford catastrophic engine failures. Lot of clubs running tow
planes on luck.

How's that winch working out at Tanner, Gregg? *How come everyone lost
interest? *I think I know the reasons, but it's your club, you tell

Sure I'd rather fly the L-19 than run a winch, but I'd be all over $5
launches and more activity. *Sadly, we do not have the runway for it
at Post Mills.
