Howdy Folks,

How about one of these with a little help from an AXI electric motor to get her up?

Perhaps a nice club winch tow would do nicely. Self launching was merely a thought after I thought about how many glider tugs we have in the club! Ar-Arr! This is the next project. It might still be solar powered yet!

I'd try to fit a caterpillar drive drive in it. So quiet no US sub will know you are around.

Any volunteers for Aerotow? I think the Telemaster might be able to do it.

Thanks Paul. Are you guys going to build the Alcyone clones?

I'd like to for when the wind stops (that is after it get's here, if it ever does) and we are into the thermally summer days.

I think Dale has a list of all needed things to put them together, but perhaps another one of us can get that from him and
run with getting it all for everyone interested, I know he's got a lot on his plate as it is.

I think the wings we cut a while back are all good for that, but I don't know how many set's were made, or how many are interested in building one.
