First attempt to aerotow in calm conditions

[blindrodie]

Looks great! Typically a trike will tow very fast. Looks like your tug pilot knows how to fly at the proper speed.

Good job on the foot launch. Typically in the US we don't foot launch when we AT
but it looks like you have it under control...

Be safe!

That was nice. My first tow was much worse.

I still foot launch when aero-towing. It feels safer to me. People say this is until I try the dolly method.

What is the glider you are flying ?

I wish you happy tows. I hope you'll have easy access to towing. Where I live it's not too simple since we don't have flight parks and tow pilots have to work when the weather is good.

Thanks for comments, this is Guggenmos Bullet Novum, 14.9 m2 wing area, our father has microlight so we have easy access

Ahh a fellow Guggenmos owner. I have the E7 which one has to foot launch unless the tow vehicle has out-riggers to keep the wings level until liftoff!

How is Guggenmos doing now that Jos is gone?

I'm not sure, but I think production is stopped, I contacted Achim the technician of Guggenmos and I'm pretty sure it is possible to get spare parts

[blindrodie]

Thanks. Let's just hope I don't need any!

Good point
