Hi Guys,
I'm curious if any of you guys have ever tried to self launch with no
wing man on a cg hook only glider. I have skids on my wingtips as
well. Would you put the wing that's on the ground further forward at
start? What's the technique!!
I think this is why having a cg hook is a disadvantage.
Regards,
Jerz
I have done plenty of retrives where we propped one wing up on a stick
on the side of the runway, or rest one tip on a tumbleweed, then leave
about 3 feet of slack in the towline.
Hit it!
