[RCSE] zip launch HLGs

[Bruce Hobbs]

Soaring League of North Texas (SLNT) puts a length of string or monofilament inside the surgical tube that limits how far you can stretch the hi-start thus making the energy and resultant launch height fairly close to what the DLGs boys can get. Yep, the zip start guys are anchored in place and cannot move around the field like the DLG throwers….but….nothings perfect….and it gets a lot of guys out to the field flying their older ships and having fun.   BCNU Bruce Hobbs
