Lowest power tow
Well, let's see...Â* There are self launching gliders, winches, ground
launches, bungee, gravity...Â* We're really spoiled in the US with our
aero tows.Â* How about an air boat?

If only there was a way to get gliders in the air that didn't require dangerous and expensive rare airplanes... if only there was a "brain trust" elsewhere in the world we could look to for answers. Sigh... well it looks like we're alone with this mystery.
