Self-Launch ground instruction at the convention??

a ground instruction class on self launch procedures and operations to be held during the convention might benefit a few pilots. I know it's a bit late.... Maybe it's too dependent on self-launch type?

The ASA (Auxiliary-powered Sailplane Association) will hold maintenance sessions
at the Convention (see http://motorlgider.org for the details), but not any
operations sessions. You could come to the maintenance sessions and collar some
us, but be sure to read this first: "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation"
