thats one long cable! Whenever I go we get to 600ft - 1000ft and have to use thermals to get higher :(

I've flown with the ATC back, in the vicking, in 93, with whinch launches that I think were similiar to this. I was also lucky enough to fly at Lasham as well, back in 99.

For 2009, just over £8.00 at Lasham where we employ professional winch drivers. That's about $11 US at the current exchange rate. Many clubs can do them much more cheaply than that, if they use volunteer club members to drive the winches.
