Fatal Towplane Accident 5-9-20
I've flown Low Tow on both ends of the rope in Australia
It works up high. Its kinda weird for the glider pilot. Its a very different sight picture. But, when the tug is 50' in the air, during the initial T.O. it doesn't stop a kite like what happened in Byron Ca. That kite accident is pure glider pilot error. Even if the elevator is unconnected, it's still glider pilot error. You've got to release *immediately* when things go out of parameters. Don't try and save it especially when low say below 1000' IMHO Nick T
