I have been reading the posts on dropzone.com for some time now along with the ones located at canopypiloting.com. I first wanted to thank all of you for the great information that you have provided.
I have recently become interested in starting ground launching in an attempt to enhance my canopy piloting abilities. I came across a recent post that I wanted some feed back on.

My questions are do you think it is necessary to take a ground launching course or is it something that you can be taught by someone local. Or is there any literature on the subject that I can read to try to educate my self. I have seen other posts on parachute types, but I was wandering if I could get some feedback from people who have flown canopies designed for ground launching. How much experience should you have prior to flying a GLX, or a GLS. I appreciate all advice, thanks in advance
