Default I need winch launch videos

I'm starting to put together my presentation on winch launch for the SSA
convention in February and I need short video clips. Anything to do with
winch launch will do but those that tell a story about winch launch
operations will be especially appreciated.

Thanks.

I remember a little comedy skit video that was on the web about a year ago.
Two novices get into a glider and launch, each thinking the other is the
instructor. Must still be out there somewhere.

Surely not exactly what you are looking for, but every talk can use a
laugh, and it does make a small point about safety.

Hi,

yes, I remember that one - I think it was the advert for a Dutch
insurance company - maybe Google could help? Or maybe a Dutch glider
pilot who remembers where it could be downloaded from?

That was a funny video but it addresses insurance and not winch launch
directly. It doesn't actually show much about winch launch.

The file is almost 38Megs. Download it to your hard drive then open it
"locally".

You can download a commercial from 'Skylaunch winches'
(http://www.skylaunch.de)
or some good quality amateur video movies with winch launches from
'Nistal Wloczysiak' (http://www.gliding4life.com/english.htm)
