Radio Communication to Start Launch
BTIZ wrote: I usually use my floppy hat. We don't use a launch marshall, but it sounds like your site uses a separate signal person from the wing runner. Larger mirrors might help. You don't say what limitations you're facing that prevents the tow pilot from seeing the wing runner. Personally, if a wing runner can't perform the hookup, the lookout, signal, and run the wing, I'd find someone else or launch unassisted. I agree, a person who cannot hook up, cannot run a wing, and does not know the standard SSA signals, should not be left unassisted to launch a glider. BT Just a topical reminder, there's wing runner online training on the SSF website http://www.soaringsafety.org/school/wingrunner/toc.htm Frank
