RE: Hi-Start vs Winch - Area Needed ? ?
Ed,
Thanks for the clarification. My next question was to be; how far forward will the launch hook need to be for a Kinetic or Zip launch method ? Examples may be :at the nose, half/third way to the nose from the CG. etc. Any ballpark distance would help as a start point.
I still need any info on the size (OD and ID) of the rubber for a typical 2M sailplane. One club member loaned me the rubber from an EDF launch system but it would have torn the wings off my Scooter 2M or Gentle Lady if used as a Zip Start.
Thanks.
