After getting my skills up to a safe level on the nose hook, I started training on the C.G. hook on the Astir and did not have much difficulty in that transition.



Training for nose hook and then transitionin to C.G. hook? You make it sound like stepping up from Cessna 150 to B-29. Most of us wouldn't notice any difference whatsoever no matter where you put the hook. This has to be most overblown issue on r.a.s, ever.

I beg to differ..with my DG300 the CG hook presents no problem. One of the clubs I did belong to years ago had a Janus A - hang on to your hat!
It all depends on the glider....
