What aircraft did you do your silver distance qualifying 50k flight in? LS-1d from Harnett County Airport to Ball Field, both in eastern North Carolina, USA. Distance: about 90 kilometers. Aerotowed back. The cross-country aerotow was my first long distance tow and it was more frightful than the flight up. I should have left the landing gear extended and popped the spoilers open. I ended up with WAAAAAAY too much slack in the rope and pulled the release. After the panic subsided, I was able to find enough lift to get me the 30 or 35 kilometers remaining to the home field.
