1st bungee launch trials in Aspres sur Buech

Last Thirsday and Friday, we made the first Swiftlight bungee launch trials in Aspres sur Buech.
This kind of take off is very easy: the pilot has just nothing to do.
In Aspres, we wish to use it for training: it would be possible to make many landings on a row in a short period of time at a very low cost. After that, the student pilot would be ready for a stress less first long solo flight.
And taking off from a mountain with the bungee is an alternative to foot launching which is always more challenging than with a hangglider or a paraglider.
Next trials at the end of October, but with student pilots…   🙂
Many thanks to John Bonvin who let us use his bungee.

ADPUL will make you love flying ultralight gliders …
