Bungee Launching a K8 at Midland Glidiung Club, Long Mynd January 2022
In case you are not familiar with this launch method: there is a 30kt wind blowing up the slope, the glider is attached to a rope that is attached to 2 bungee chords arranged in a V. The glider is held by the wheel brake, the wheel is in a groove in the ground, and there is someone holding back on the tail. When the signal is given, the bungee is stretched by 3 people on the end of each chord walking down the hill until the bungee is fully stretched and the walkers are more than a wingspan apart, then the pilot shuts the brakes, the tail holder lets go, and the glider is launched into the lift created by the wind blowing up the slope, and climbs away in the ridge lift.
