My first launch from the cart

I was a bit apprehensive about trying the cart, but the additional 200-300 feet of altitude was a big draw. By routing the tow lines under the control frame, rather than over (as is done for foot launching) the tow itself is much more comfortable as well. No more struggling against the downward-pulling tow lines. Even lateral control is much better without the tow straps rubbing against the base tube. It makes me wonder what the downside is for foot-launching with the tow lines routed in this manner.
