Re: AERO-TOWING
Yeah once the rain stopped the wind rolled in. Hoping to get the aero tow thing happening every few weeks so I should be able to get some more vid, especially of the larger stuff.
Personally I think the tow line is too long. we could cut at least 5m off it. Makes for a long landing as you need to clear the fence with the line. Not such a good thing if you have several gliders to tow.

Re: AERO-TOWING
Yeah that does help, but also slows the turn around time. I like to come off the tow into a steep desent and then setup for landing. Looks much more scale that way.

Re: AERO-TOWING
Finally got the tug and some scale ships back out to the field today. New prop on the tug and I think we have the setup nailed. 2 new gliders so flight times for them were short as setups were tested. Hope to get out again soon and catch a few termals.
