RE: New to Gliders - Where do I look for info?
how much can you pull?
A Fling weighs about 7 ounces so you only need about 1.5 - 2poundsof pull to launch it.
An Easy glider is about 24 ounces and a Vista is about 30 ounces , so you only needabout 6-8 pounds of pull to get a good launch.
There are pedal launchers so that you can hook up to the hi-start/planethen let the launcher hold the tension till you step on the pedal.
All depends on how big and heavy your plane is and how much tension you can handle. But if 8 pounds is too much, then it is time to go electric.
