Mark Keene once told me about towing with one of these at Uvalde making a 2000ft tow and return in under three minutes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIAI-Marchetti_SM.1019 28 variants on the US registry. Frank Whiteley I towed behind Mark in my '28. We had 2000 feet in 1:40. He told me he was using 40% power. UH Now that I think about it, I believe Mark said his tow cycle time was 2.5 minutes. Must have been an interesting view from the glider;^) Frank |
