 ==Gliding autotow launch== 
 Hi Scrauny, 

 Thanks for your edits to the gliding pages. In the section on autotows, you included the line; 
 :This launch method is still regularly used by a club in the UK for launching primary gliders. 
 Why not say which club? On the whole, Wikipedia encourages concrete examples and accurately sourced references in place of generallisations.  

 When I learnt to fly gliders at Lasham airfield (many years ago), they were using autotow launching in preference to winch launching because they had done some side by side comparisons with a couple of supercat winches and found they could get a quicker turnaround between launches using autotow. The winches could launch to an extra couple of hundred feet, but the cars were cheaper and coupled with the faster turnaround that made them more effective. 

 On the other hand, Lasham is unusual for having a 2 mile long main runway, which probably helps in getting the autotow launches to a reasonable height.  

 I'm not sure whether Lasham still uses autotow launching, but since you uploaded a photo of an Imperial College glider, I'm guessing there is a good chance that Lasham is in fact the club you were refering to.
