Bungee launch of my 6m Ventus electro, flight of the Phoenix

After inheriting of this glider couple years back when his owner cartwheeled it on take off, lot of work and love put on this airframe this winter to fix everything, new paint sprayed, look like new!
I also made a move to convert it to electric, the propulsion is AXI4130/20 16x10 RFM 8S 5000mA drawing 55A, good setting for a 14Kg sailplane. Even if I have the ground clearance to ROG I prefer bungee as it is way safer, no risk of prop strike neither uncertain heading on grass field.
Enjoy!
