Sapphire Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 I wish I could get up that fast in the morning. 1
furio Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 very nice, thanks for that. just a bit different from a tug launch.
Guest Howard Hughes Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I have only ever done one gider flight and it was a winch launch, it felt like we were going straight up, probably the closest thing I'll get to a space shuttle launch!
winsor68 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 In my memory the most impressive part of a Winch launch happens at the Winch end! They tell me that Cable breaks are much rarer today... they use Nylon line??
winsor68 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 I thought the Winch end deserved it's own thread... This sounds gives me tingles. Never forgotten it... Winch Launch 10-12-2010 - View from the Ground
winsor68 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Posted October 16, 2012 May as well go the whole hog and make it triplets... Here is a great Tube of a Launch and flight from another great angle... I love the soundtrack and especially the last few seconds... Glider winch launch - Cool Angle, Great Soundtrack
