Auto-Towing - why is this not more popular?

Hello Dan, can I come next year for the Ground Launch Weekend? Please for details about location and near big town. How long is Roach Dry Lake and how long is usefull part for launch?
Here in Poland we have old millitary hard runway (12.000 f). We want to achieve over 3000 f height.

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. http://www.lvvsa.org/#!safaris/c5n2

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

I am so happy to see an auto towing event being organized. Sadly, my glider has no CG hook. I'll have to borrow something!

Club function. We do it twice a year if the weather cooperates. Not too much wind and a dry lake, no rain in the previous two weeks.
El Niño is making it tougher to get it done.
