Why limit it to self launch? Auto tow is a viable method of launching gliders and suitable cars would be comparatively cheap. There used to be at least 2 privately owned winches in South Australia. Privately owned tugs in Australia. There would be a few.
Would also alleviate the problem found in small clubs where every one is fine with an operation, but the instructor simply cant get there. (This was one of the issues I spoke to the GFA exec member about at Waikerie, 20ish years ago, that I referred to earlier) Regards SWK ----- Original Message ----- From: "Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia."
