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

Aerotow 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ky1leolUCAY Cheers, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
