I'm extremely happy to see the text in parenthesis on point no.3. I have
called attention to this to the Soaring Safety Foundation. In coaching a
new tow pilot (I am not one) he made his first couple of attempts at this
at a somewhat slow but vigorous rate. The result was a large yaw and the
Pawnee with its large dihedral looked almost like rocking the wings.
