You should be able to use the winch, rather than holding your foot on the 
winch switch all you have to do is pulse the switch by pressing and releasing 
the switch. I've taken a 20 year old glider up doing this without any 
problems.

How do you get away with flying R/C in a playground. Where we live there's a 
by-law that prohibits flying R/C within the city limits except at assigned 
locations or get a $500.00 fine.

Well at the moment I'm starting to build a SIG LT-40. I want to learn to fly 
power as well as being a glider-guider so my time to try any more 
modifications is put on hold at this time.
