Description
Windenschlepp, or winch towing, is a less commonly used method for launching paragliders. While it offers some potential for cross-country (XC) flights, it is not as popular as other launch methods.
In Germany, there are a few sites where winch towing is practiced. One site has a record flight distance of 14.5 km, indicating some XC potential. Another site in Germany boasts a longer site record of 61.1 km, showing that more extended XC flights are possible under the right conditions.
