Default RE: Hi-Start vs Winch - Area Needed ? ?

Thanks for the reply Ranfred. Hello Art. Yeah, .... I want to keep it a true sailplane without on-board power.

The better winches are a bit pricey ..... I'm considering a tow-plane as an alternative. I've noticed that some people are electrifying some of the larger Big-Stik type planes and have had success .... at a reasonable cost. There is usually always someone at the field that could pilot the tow plane.
