In which I launch gliders by operating a winch. Sorry, not many clips of gliders. Maybe next time tho.

I was a member of a glider club in Sekiyado...One of my greatest experiences and memories of Japan.. Later went to Hawaii for intensive glider training. Even did a few car launches which were scary...

Great video, I’m glad you made this I don’t think there are enough winch videos, especially from operators! Thank you

This has to be a reference video on winch launching gliders. Well done!

Thanks for that Hiroki. Haven't seen the winch setup for launching gliders and was wondering how you would go about it. Quite an operation.

Well run winch operation. Good view of the business end of the launch winch.

I'd like to see more of the details of the winch machine..

John Gilmer I think this winch is made by Skylaunch Ltd in Shropshire ENGLAND The company has an internet site that includes a lot of details about the wide range of quality winch products they produce.

This is literally identical to my club in New Zealand! Youve got the mini cable car truck and everything!

1st mod I would make is some A/C...if it's a car or truck engine it would be easy to do.

These are made in the UK, where we don't really need it! It is an option though: "Air conditioning: S-53 Cabin air conditioning system (+£3,124.00)" You're right it's an 8.2L GM V8 engine, so it's easy to do.

Nice video. Love a winch lauch as the acceleration and rate of climb is fun. I notice you don't have "take up slack" commands. How do you take out the slack in the cable as you launch?

@BruceDuncan 2 жыл бұрын

2:43 "The glider on the right is ready" *is* their "take up slack" call. Seems more efficient to me!

@monza1002000 2 жыл бұрын

@@BruceDuncan I prefer the separate instruction "take up slack". Guess it's just what we get use to. I just love winch launches, much fun.

Is this vest that you are wearing one of those that has ice water circulating through it? If not, then maybe you should take it off when it is that hot.
