Find the junior/cadet who is a good sprinter for wingman otherwise the
airbrake tip does help as well as using a wing runner who only lightly supports the wing as opposed to the gripper or thrower. It realy does help to brief the wing runners - I have been given nasty scares once or twice this year by various antics from people who really dont know what they are doing. If you use the airbrake tip it is best to tell the control & tower before takeoff otherwise you might give the tuggie a heartattack and/or end up with lots of helpfull souls telling you that your airbrakes are open.. rgds "ruediger" wrote in message om... Since 3 month I am proud owner of a H201B with 17m wingspan and "Speizklappen". The glider I owned for 4 years, before i bought the Libelle was a Astir CS77. I like the handling of the Libelle very much, the only point I really have problems with, is that the Libelle loves to drop a wing at the beginning of aero tow. Every take off that a friend or me made with the glider was close to a aborted take-off. Other Libelle Pilots said, I should try to open the air breaks for the first 100m, but none of them owns a 17m version, which has extra weight on the outer side of the wing because of the wingtip extension. I am not used to this wing dropping by the ASTIR so I hope I can get some additionell advice here. |
