Funny Story - Glider Tow

Seems the towplane pilot could have aborted the takeoff. Even if he can't watch everything goign on you'd have hoped the glider pilot would let him know something bad is going on (using suitable descriptive phraseology). I could hear somebody yelling Stop...Stop, but I couldn't see if there was space to get the tow plane down without snagging the remains of the glider on something and stalling it in. Why didn't the glider pilot release as soon as the first tip snagged? Are eventualities and instant release not part of the RC pre-flight checklist? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
