I got the inspiration for this idea from my local model gliding club. This method of launching model (and real) gliders is called "reel launching". I have no idea how it works, but it does. Step 1: Move VTOL slider all the way up. Step 2: Once at the top of the climb, click AG3 to detach from the line. Step 3: once you are close to stalling speed, click AG1 for booster(to get you to even higher hights). Step 4: once booster is done click AG2 for booster release. After that, just glide for as long as you can! enjoy!

@Tully2001 I know you weren't :) Just having a ramble.
@Tully2001 yea. Thanks, the winch is a bit out of my skill zone, this is all I can do for now.
Just try not to beat me in the tournament next time!
