Silent , there will always be folks who need to pick apart every last letter of every word , but it really isn't all that difficult ;
A Tow plane towing a glider is part of the glider's launch gear , and since the glider is being flown for fun , it's support equipment of course falls into the model aircraft designation .
Simple logic ..... This must be lacking on whatever lesser RC forum you've been hanging out at .
