Greeting from sri lanka.

Thank you, from sri lanka.

Verry 😎 cool. Always happy landings. Aeroclub bexbach EDRX

What if they can’t release the cable ?

if it is that hot temp, why did you pull such warm clothing?

🇬🇧Years ago at North Weald in Essex we had a reverse pulley system , after lunching in a reasonable wind we could let the cable back out again. To still be attached to the cable at 4,000 feet was not unusual let alone good value for the cost of a winch launch ❤🇬🇧

This has to be a reference video on winch launching gliders. Well done!

This is literally identical to my club in New Zealand! Youve got the mini cable car truck and everything!

Awesome video bru!!!

Well explained video!

Rope or cable?

Thanks for that Hiroki. Haven't seen the winch setup for launching gliders and was wondering how you would go about it. Quite an operation.

This video is the best that I have seen on how a glider which works. Merci ありがとう

Great video, I’m glad you made this I don’t think there are enough winch videos, especially from operators! Thank you

Great video. Love it. How much does this winch machine cost ? Please provide price breakup of cost and Importing charges (in UK pound )?

I was a member of a glider club in Sekiyado...One of my greatest experiences and memories of Japan.. Later went to Hawaii for intensive glider training. Even did a few car launches which were scary...

Such a cool video! Thanks so much for sharing ☺️👍

Thanks. I really enjoyed watching this........

How do you end of the string back to the glider/launch area?

Hi, how long a runway do you have? 500 meters is nice. Oh, I see it now :) 1500 meters.

Thank you for the Video! I will visit this airport for (Helicopter) Spotting on my next trip! Greetings from Germany! Andreas

Great video on this, buddy. Thanks for the upload

This is super interesting, thank you

You are aware that you are wearing 3 pieces of clothes on your upper body. Could help with the heat if you wear less. Just saying😉

Nice

Thank you, a very good look into a winch operator’s world. Nicely done.

Great video thanks for sharing ..

Small Prara Shute on the Cable ......need a tad bigger .. Really helps with cable right after release ... Creates just a little drag ...

Wow .....too hot guys !!

Nice video and good explanation. Love from India

Very interesting thank you!

Next time buy a winch machine with an air conditioned cockpit ;)

勉強になりました！！登録しました！！！

Is this vest that you are wearing one of those that has ice water circulating through it? If not, then maybe you should take it off when it is that hot.

❤️✌🏼

Thanks dude be safe

Lose the stupid music!

1st mod I would make is some A/C...if it's a car or truck engine it would be easy to do.

Its lisky

Duuuude, すごい ね! エンジンがグライダーを大気中に引きずり込むように動いたと思いましたが、ウインチがホイールになっていることがわかりました。 熊谷には行ったことがありませんが、次回日本に行くときは行きます。 良い夏を過ごして、気をつけてください

Nice video. Love a winch lauch as the acceleration and rate of climb is fun. I notice you don't have "take up slack" commands. How do you take out the slack in the cable as you launch?

Nice flying! I have one special question: What units do glider instruments in japan use? Is it metric (altitude in m, variometer in m/s and IAS in km/h)? We have this for gliders in germany, while all other VFR planes use the american units. Greetings from a glider pilot from germany.

Well run winch operation. Good view of the business end of the launch winch.

I love this

Interesting and well made video. Thanks.
