- Here is some wishful thinking.
- Does the glider simulator have a winch?
-
- Wouldn't you love to hold down the space bar and then watching the
- wings bend. Hold too long and POW!
-
- Try zooms.
-
- Adjust tow hook position and see how different the launch is.
- Experiment with different amounts of trailing edge camber on each launch.
-
- With a good winch simulation I could probably figure out what I keep doing
- wrong without it costing a weeks repair time.
