Nice article on soaring on EAA web site

and may cause you to fly below the towplane

Any mechanical device benifits from being operated at lower stress
loads to the structure..Tost,Schweitzer, the tow plane or your
auto...- Hide quoted text -

Not true........Mechanical devices are designed to do the
job........Why should I put myself / passenger/ glider/ towpilot in
danger just to give the tow hook "less stress"? How about "less
stress" on me? Like a "normal release". THat climb and dive deal
give me too much stress. Mechanical devices, tools, etc work for
me....I don't work for them.

BTW......no "T" is Schweizer...(yet another of my pet peeves) LOL
