Default Tow endorsement must include 3 glider flights as PIC?

I am amazed we didn't see Burt post. It's almost his favorite topic. He must be out dual in a glider today . . . .

There was so much confusion and misinformation that my head was about to explode. So I waited for YOU to straighten them out.

I have a file ready to e-mail if anyone wants it that explains the two scenarios:
1. NEW tow pilot (who must also receive ground and flight training in a GLIDER in preparation for the tow endorsement.
2. Recurrency for the tow pilot who has the initial endorsement but needs to get current with 3 flights every 24 months (formerly 12) by the methods decried in FAR 61.69 AND in my book:
The Towpilot Manual" available from www.bobwander.com Cheap. Easy Read.

For that matter why guess y'all? READ the FAR 61.69 and while you are at it FAR 91.309 about towing.
