Well, the SC tows the Fox along quite well. Unfortunately, the Fox flies like a peice of crap!

Did some aero towing today. We dragged out the diablo tug and a Salto 4.3m. Conditions we not great but there was some lift around the mostly overcast sky. Got a few tows in before the wind and showers closed in.

Hopefully the forecast for sunday is correct and we can get some quality flying in good conditions. Seems we finally solved the exhaust issue with the diablo, we keeped breaking header pipes after 2-3 flights. So we changed the canister mount and the coupler and so far so good after 4 flights.

Some pics of the tug and glider Sorry about the quality as they were taken with my phone.
