Differences in Italian vs US soaring instruction?

One should of course also roll inverted and pull through
behind the tug to fool hin into thinking that the cable
didn't release. This is guaranteed to give tuggie a
heart attack.

what the glider pilot should do in these circumstances,
other than watch in
amazement.

Simon Walker s comments read:

Usually they are pretty good and turn the opposite

that they instinctively turn right.

Fine if you can count on your tug pilots ..

with a glider in a climbing right turn and tug in
a
descending right turn there should still be no conflict.
So no nasty accidents.

Agreed so whether they are awake or not should be
immaterial - unless
you pull of as they are flying to slow for you when
you are full of
water ...
