General Discussions :: For A+C launch here is a great article
Thanks for the article on A/C launching, I have problems getting the wing overhead in anything but light wind so the article was very helpful, however I couldn't get the video, if you could let me have a copy I would realy appreciate it.
Regards

Flying Today:: mmm big field out my back
might go do some high wind 20 mph pull ups of my wing?
might be a good practice but could get dragged like a bitch
think i need to practise my a and c take offs though as could not pull the C's down enough to slow the wing
maybe c' and d's?
