Saw the Silent - Bob came up to our stand to see the Stemme.

Thanks to those who responded. My guesstimate was around 5 liters per
2000 foot tow. Looks like it is in the rnage 6 to 7. If the jets get
anything like the predicted performance they certainly won't be
extravagant. Retrieves will be about half of a car retrieve as you only
go one way and go direct. Way better than an aerotow.
Those going to Avalon may get to see Bob Carlton's Jet Silent perform.
Someone mentioned safety of winch launching. The only statistic I've
ever seen was from the BGA who claimed winch launching had 5 times the
aerotow accident rate.
