Auto Towing 2 Place Gliders
wrote:
Does anyone know of an operation in the U.S. regularly doing auto tows
with 2 place gliders?
(especially Blaniks or Grob 103s)
I am looking for feasability, realistic tow heights acheived, vehicle
requirements etc.
I will be operating from a 4600 foot paved runway.
Any information would be helpful.
The CAP at Dillingham field on Oahu has been doing this for years, with
2-33's, and more recently a Blanik. They get around a 1000', works
well with the ridge next door. I think they do it with an old beater.
You'll have to call Soar Hawaii for contact info.
