The winch. Favourite launching method for students and everyone else when the weather is good enough to get away from 1000 - 1400 feet. Equipped with a 250 HP V-8 and 1000 metre polypropylene rope, the winch will accelerate the glider from 0 to 100 km/h in about 2 seconds and get you launched in less than half a minute.... |

At the end of a day's flying, it is pleasant to relax with friends and a drink on the clubhouse deck, also used for social functions with family members such as barbecues. The clubhouse includes a lounge, lecture/meeting room, licensed bar, kitchen plus the usual facilities. The tractors (Thunderbirds 1 and 2) in the foreground are used for towing gliders to the launch point. |
