Just a note - when you start learning winch launching the initial acceleration on the ground is fast and can cause "brain freeze". The guy in the back will be talking about keeping the wings level, keep it balanced on the wheel, keep it straight with the rudder etc etc and all you're thinking is F*** me!!!! or words to that effect.

Don't worry, it gets more logical after a few launches (well about 2000 in my case, but I'm slow on the uptake)
