What's involved with towing gliders -- NOT for hire?
First, you need to find a tow hook arrangement STC'd for your aircraft (or jump
through the hoops needed to get an STC). Then there's training and a checkout.
Practically speaking, Atlas would make a mediocre tow plane for most gliders.
It's too fast. Towing a "trailer" to Osh would be a long exercise in slow
flight, with the glider constantly trying to pull the tail up.
