I did annual checks about a month ago, when we were encouraged to try
low position on the way up for spin checks. I decided that I like low tow and will use it in future, but before I do so there's one thing I'd like to ask the Aussies and other habitual low towers: when you release do you just pull the bung in the low position or do you pop up above the wake first? I fly a Libelle, which normally tows with a lot of sag in the rope, even with the wheel down, and it occurred to me that releasing in the low position could cause the rings to pass close to the canopy or even hit it. At least the Libelle has a nose hook: if this is an issue, would it be even worse with a belly hook? -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org | |
