Default Video of using up ALL of the runway on a wet aero tow

Bruno,

Great video as usual. I have some hours on in the 27 its a beautiful
glider.

My only comment is that I close the brakes immediately the tug is rolling
and there is no risk of running over the rope and keep my hand very close
to the release in case of a wing drop, especially with water and especially
with a X wind!

Believe me its amazing how fast it can start to go round if the wing goes
down and digs in.

This experience cost me no more than a bit of pride but had i had to move
my hand from brakes to release it might have been different.

Looking forward to the next Vid!

Mike
