Couple of posts back I suggested several acts that are more productive
than squealing to the teacher. You want a number, I'll give you an
equation: When the yearly towpilot death toll = the yearly glider pilot
death toll. Glider pilot lives matter too. Simple solution is to write
letters demanding the FAA ban gliding. All those glider pilot's lives
and by default towpilot's lives saved. Brilliant.

You are missing a point here Mr Ballou but I can't help but feel that
missing the point is what you do best.

What a glider pilots does once off tow does not affect the tow pilot,
what they do on tow does. Yes, gliders crash not infrequently resulting
in the death of the pilot and occasionally a passenger but that is not
the fault of the tow pilot, that is exclusively the fault of the glider
pilot. When a tow pilot crashes as a result of a glider pilot's
failure to stay in position I become concerned. When a device meant to
give the tow pilot a fighting chance to survive does not work, is known
to be prone to failure I take great exception. Does this not make sense
to you?

If you wish to kill yourself that is your decision, fly on my friend, I
shall not interfere. If you wish to kill me we will have conflict.

You are taking pilots mistakes as an intentional attempt on your life. And trying to get revenge through big gov. They didn't mean to kill you, revenge is not warranted. And if it was using the gov is the sissy way.
Prove you ain't about vengeance, simple task, collect 337s on Tost installs on L-19 Birddogs and post it here. Several have expressed interest. I can even give you a hint as I understand a Philadelphia area club pulled it off. Here is your chance to make towing safer. Or you could write your letter to punish all those evil heartless people with Schweizer hooks.
