I'm a member of a glider team of my university, and here, Kisogawa Glider Port is a main place where we fly. And winch is a way of gliders take off. A long wire hooked a glider is rolled up very fast, and she takes off! I always take pictures and videos when I'm in a training camp, so I'd like to shere the videos with you guys. The back music on this video is famous "Danger Zone" from TOP GUN as you know. Please enjoy!!

  • Oh God. Not Danger Zone again.

  • Pls look ambri glider, there you will see a glider winch lunch in the swiss alpes!

  • In the Philippines we built a glider winch using Japan surplus Isuzu 8PB1T turbo diesel for engine. Mounted in on Isuzu NPR Elf truck for mobility. Video also in youtube.

  • I am looking for plans to built a winch. Could you give any indication?
