If you have a Pawnee or a Tug with enough grunt why not dual tow?
Guys at my club here in NZ do it on a regular basis on days when a long tow is needed to get away. Split the cost. Paul "Stewart Kissel" wrote in message ...

Land opposite take off direction, turn around, hook up and go! Guenther Jacobs at Parowan has refined his technique one step past this...the glider is staged on the active with the second rope hooked to it, pilot strapped in and ready. The towplane lands facing the glider, taxis up and drops it rope on the side of the runway, spins around and is hooked up. Tightens the rope and goes. Hard to waste time on the ground this way.
