John,
Now that is REALLY weird ; a video comparison between winch launching and 
aerotow! ???? I find it hard to believe that you missed the obligatory 
childhood lecture (often repeated through the years),  on comparisons: Apples 
with apples; oranges with oranges. The aerotow box was a total waste of time, 
and a major distraction.
Nice video of the winch launch though, and good footage of the changed 
topography of the BM airfield. 
Did you do any soaring off this or any other launch on the day?
What is the consensus of the users on the success (or otherwise) of the 
recently installed launch strips?
Cheers,
Gary

  Hi All,

   

  Thought you might be interested to see this comparison between winch 
launching and Aerotow.

  Greig Wanless and Roger Druce on Aerotow with Axel Allgaier and myself on 
Geelong G/C winch.

  A great day for winching on Saturday with about 15 -20 knots of wind straight 
down 27 we were consistently getting 2000ft AGL.

  John
