A winch launch is the fastest and cheapest method to launch a glider. It was great fun to fly the LS3 again. The noise of the glider is horrible at the moment, I need to seal the canopy properly.

The unbeatable feeling of an good but not too strong winch launch is just priceless.

My first glider flight was a cable launch in a Slingsby Sedbergh, I just about crapped my self as we pitched up against a stiff breeze, but after a few seconds it wasn't so bad.

Very nice. Just a little early spring thermal flight with winch a launch. One can see that you are very focused on the winch launch and you still have fun with those little flights.

Habe das einmal selbst als Passagier mitgemacht. Cooles Gefühl und cooles Video! Muss man mal selbst erlebt haben 😀

Oh how I miss doing this - I've not had this experience since the mid '80s, winch-launching in an ASK-21 at what was West Malling airfield in Kent (now a damn housing estate), then catching thermals over carparks and business parks in Maidstone, spiralling up and gaining altitude to be able to head up Blue Bell Hill and on to Rochester airport where you could get massive thermals from GEC-Avionics' huge car park (who would have guessed then that I'd end up working there a few years later) and then head off all over Kent for a few hours of sublime peace and quiet.

Cool how this guy plays a flute while he flies his glider. But he's better at flying than playing a flute, I'd say.

So I fly F3J RC competitions. I was hoping for bucket and zoom at the top!

Hi Stefan, thé first Time I Saw a winch launch was horrific. I really thought the wings will brake at One Time!!! The stress seems to be enormous isn't it?
