Much Ado About Nothing
To lift a title from The Bard and, since there's not much else going on
these days, and to give homage to Roseanne Roseannadana... What's all this nonsense I keep hearing about CG hooks? My first glider had a nose hook and it was easy to control on launch and tow.Â* All the rest had CG hooks (only) and I never noticed a difference either on take off or tow.Â* The only advantage I ever noticed about either was on ground launch where the nose hook was at a distinct disadvantage. So, for me at least, a CG hook would be a must for any non-self-launch glider.Â* I think that those who make a big bugaboo about CG hooks are doing a disservice to gliding. Let the games begin... -- Dan, 5J |
