A few years ago the crosswind was picking up and the decision was made to
change runways after I took off. The towplane drifted to the downwind side of the runway while I was: 1. busy maintaining wings level 2. the tow rope was overpowering the towplane rudder the farther the towplane drifted downwind. Once airborne I lined up behind the towplane sharpish maybe a half second before he was going to dump me to avoid going off into the crop. I will leave it as an exercise for the reader to determine appropriate positioning of the towplane and glider in a strong crosswind. |
