A few of us Private Pilots got into flying via Gliding, and for every winch launch you have ever done you have to be very quick to lower the nose. At the end of the launch, when you are 1400ft agl, the glider has a nose-up attitude of about 25 degrees, The cable back-releases, as it is supposed to do. Then you simultaneously give the cable-release a precautionary two tugs, and lower the nose to below the horizon. It is only when you get to fly powered aircraft, that the application of power is also required.
If you fly anything larger, with tonnes of inertia, then that is a different problem, but after all this is the Private Flying Forum.
