Always the way when you really want to get away for that first flight ha ha. The first launch was good but we endend up in an upside down thermal. I wanted to head to the left towards the salt pan but being as I was recording I was off the controls (of course) The second flight had an even better launch by 300 feet & we got away! Cheers
@@lessainsbury8508 Thanks Les! It wasn't an Auto tow ha ha. This was a winch Launch by a V8 LS1 engine powered winch. The Acceleration is so damn good! 22 years since I've felt that, way too long!
With the obvious love of flight , you need to do this more often . Love the smile when you locked in . Blue skies and easy updrafts .
Ha ha thanks mate, it was an epic day & yes I do need to do this more often!
It is the rule- getting lift on base leg :-). Nice high launch. speed looked spot on.

Is it too hard to leave a comment on here? Aviation is my passion! It surpasses evrything else by a long way!
Not at all ! I haven't seen many auto launches before. Considerably cheaper than areo tow ,and simpler than winch. Just need a lot of real estate !

Whoops ! I just looked up the club info and saw they use a whinch launch not auto tow. Pretty fair pricing too !
