Bungey Launching
The Midland Gliding Club (UK) still launches, when
conditions are suitable, by catapulting gliders from our west facing ridge. Are we the only dinosaurs left on the planet? We are curious to find out if any other clubs still have this facility, how often it is used and when was the last time. More information www.longmynd.com Chris

Bungey Launching
Bezmiechowa (Poland). They still use Bungey Launching, and when the
conditions are right, they use gravity launch ( they simply pull the glider down the hill and after a few meters it takes off). And they do it realy often. Maciek

Bungey Launching
Have a look at Ålleborg in Sweden - pictures under "Ålleborg maj 2006"
and "startbryggan" on the pull-down menu. http://www.svs-se.org/ They rebuilt the start platform in 2002 and actively bungie launch today. /Adam On Mar 17, 1:33 am, Chris Ellis REMOVE_TO_REPLY.chrisel...@micro-plus- web.net wrote: The Midland Gliding Club (UK) still launches, when conditions are suitable, by catapulting gliders from our west facing ridge.
