Default RE: First glider tow

Aerotow is a blast!!!

I was checked out last year on a 3m KR6 glider pulled by a Pegasus tug. Just keep the wings level and the glider basically flies itself behind the tug. Great way to catch thermals and get some hour long flights. I'm hoping to order an Aerosente 3.3m Hall Cherokee kit later this summer to build for next year.

Irish, you need to build up a 3m - 5m glider and head to Wichita for the annual aerotow event one of the guys in the area has. Lots of guys come up from as far away as Texas, and the private field the event is held at is one of the best fields you can ever fly from.
