Using a Telsa or other power train to make the ultimate winch.

No question it would be way more affordable. ....And all that would take is a LOT of money! Back in the 90s a group secured a lease with the Bureau of Land Management for a section (1 mile square) of land in Southpark, Colorado.Â* That's a valley, not a cartoon town.Â* We brought our winch from the Black Forest Soaring Society to the valley at 10,000' MSL.Â* It was quite a lot of fun when the wind changed or when I glider landed at an odd corner of the field.Â* We simply turned the winch to align with the glider and launched him from there. -- Dan, 5J |
