Very nervous as we had not used a winch before and this was the maiden flight of a "Sailplanes International"
Osprey 100" glider. http://www.twflyingclub.co.uk/

  • realy the one who oporates the winch should be the piolet

  • @cprich22 Really! A Maiden launch needs the pilot's full concentration.

  • @Grandadap yeh but the piolet is then in fullc ontroll of the aircraft. if the wich is too slow or to fast its too late for the piolet to shout across the plane has already crashed but the piolet can feel it befor it happens and can compensate. its realy just flying by the seat of your pants.

    Now i fly realy gliders as a piolet i would much prefur to be in controll of the wicnch when i launch but for obvious reasons i cant. im just saying its a nice plane and vid. it was justa a sujestion:)

  • nice flying!

    gliders totally rock!!
