RE: piggybacking glider
Hanger 9 made them some time ago but are no longer available. Sometimes you see one on EBay but you will probably have to make one yourself from lite ply. There are a lot of good ones on the threads on this forum. Check out YouTube for more videos and some ideas. I can hardly wait to get out again myself. Not many thermals here in Maine in the winter!

RE: piggybacking glider
It's not rocket science. Try to get the glider at 0 degrees incidence with the wing of the tug or maybe -1 degree or so. Positive incidence and the glider my be flying before the tug and yank it off the ground before its got enough airspeed.
