  • It looks like you rotate dangelously fast

  • I make it about a one second safety climb and a 4 second rotation to the full climb angle, which is fine for a powerful winch.

  • Fantastic perspective! Amazing the number of glider trailers you have there at :32! I have never seen so many in one place. Really good job.

  • Lasham is the biggest gliding club in the UK and probably the World!

  • How many different gliders do you have based there? How many different pilots fly there over the course of a year? Again, cool video. I have done a tail cam but not this view.

  • I believe about 140 gliders. We have about 700 members + visitors.

  • God i miss the Winch soo much only done it twice, but it was so long ago, did it in the Air Cadets during Air Experience flights, when i finnaly did my scholarship did it in the Grob 109b :( powered glider

  • it's really the most wonderful feeling ever. i did that one time in my life as visitor. and i soo want to do that again (:

    it seemed so unrealistic when you saw the ground getting smaller and smaller and smaller. just awesome :)

  • nice!!

  • The rear view gives a good impression of just how steep the launch is. Awesome!!
