I am not convinced I would want an air launcher unless I had a mechanical back up or pilot too.
Just as I don't use power brakes, I use mechanical brakes with redundent master cylinders.
My Stroud LSR Chute works GREAT (no launcher, but hey my max speed in the Stude is calculated at 225 with E motor) If I put the big motor in after SW 2011 , you can bet I add another Chute.
