Like to hear from 3-4 operations that are staging on the taxiway or
grass and starting the tow from that position.

Call or e-mail.

Valley Soaring Club- Middletown NY. Grass parallel to main paved
runway. Common traffic pattern with
final for gliders and tugs lined up off of line for main runway. Main
only used as last *resort.
Requires heads up at all times but we never block the paved runway.
Contact me privately if more info needed.

Our club in Hartford WI usually uses the grass runway (18/36). It's
plenty wide (215') so sharing it with the usual taildragger traffic
isn't too bad. When the winds favors the paved runway (11/29) we stage
launch and land on the grass next to the runway. We generally do not
use the pavement unless the grass is unavailable. We use right traffic
for sailplanes, and left traffic for power. We get along pretty good
with the power folks at our airport.
