we don't tow through sink or rotor intentionally.. and for the local area we
know where to predict the rotor... but as for sink.. what goes up must come
down eventually.. and there is sink, to get back into the lift... can't
always fly on tow in thermal lift.. when the cores are narrow and strong..

650M in elevation is approximately 1800-2000ft?
take that up to 3000ft or more on a 45C day..


The 115hp version of the Dimona is turbo charged, so density altitude
isn't an issue.

now add some down draft (sink) or rotor


This is a bad tug pilot who tugs through sink. And rotor... well, on the
downdraft side, you'll always go down with something less than a rocket, I
guess. On the updraft side, though...
