Once at a worlds F3B event the wind was at Joes back...not good for building any tension. Joe launched and put the glider over on its wingtip about 5 to 10 feet above the deck... Tapping... tapping not not much so as to not reeling a bunch of line but just enough tension to keep things working. It was as if the plane was tethered to the turnaround and he was flying the radius of a big circle with a 150 meter diameter. The idea was to fly the plane hooked to the tow line all the way around to the opposite side of the turn around...Then launch into the wind. Joe was not the only guy to do this but I do believe that he did get one hell of a launch with a full downwind launch. I can still hear the screaming and cracking mono, thinking all the time it was gonna let go. Must have been a speed run.
