Doug,
Tows are not usually available in Zapata except during the hang gliding world record encampment which occurs every summer, usually in July. Check Ozreport.com for a calendar of dates. Towing is for ultralight gliders and hang gliders only. Not fast enough for heavy sailplanes. Are there tows available near the Zapata area? When is the best time frame to go for long straight out flights? Doug Levy
