Very high winch launch videos
Here is a couple of videos from YouTube of the modified Tost winch that set
the altitude record and and of the view from the cockpit as the pilot does aerobatics on the way down. See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VlRd9-wxQI (Search YouTube for "Hohenflug" if the link doesn't work.) BTW 1500 meters = See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFKsjDIjmDg (Search YouTube for "Schleppwinde") BTW, 1500 meters = 4,921 feet 15 M/S = 29 knots. Bill Daniels

I just watched the video. Is it my imagination, or did the pilot actually do an inverted loop among other fun maneuvers ? Cheers, Charles

Bill Daniels Hi Bill, This is an excellent example of "doing" things rather then just talking about. The videos are inspiring, at least to me. Jacek
