we don't tow through sink or rotor intentionally.. and for the local area we
know where to predict the rotor... but as for sink.. what goes up must come down eventually.. and there is sink, to get back into the lift... can't always fly on tow in thermal lift.. when the cores are narrow and strong..

The 115hp version of the Dimona is turbo charged, so density altitude isn't an issue. now add some down draft (sink) or rotor This is a bad tug pilot who tugs through sink. And rotor... well, on the downdraft side, you'll always go down with something less than a rocket, I guess. On the updraft side, though... Stefan
