Default Auto Towing 2 Place Gliders

wrote:
Does anyone know of an operation in the U.S. regularly doing auto tows
with 2 place gliders?
(especially Blaniks or Grob 103s)
I am looking for feasability, realistic tow heights acheived, vehicle
requirements etc.
I will be operating from a 4600 foot paved runway.
Any information would be helpful.


Anyone remember the link that was out there some time back of the video
that was done of an auto tow where they used a payout winch on the back
of the tow vehicle. In the video they towed down the runway, off the
end of the runway, and the tow vehicle is headed down the airport
driveway about the time they release. Think it was a 2-33.
