Looking at all 2011 accidents reported thus far, a good portion
involved pilots with little apparent time in model or particular glider. *I'm just sayin'. Frank Whiteley Frank Whiteley[/i][/color] The rest of the story http://www.thebaynet.com/news/index....story_ID/23254[/quote] Well, after having read the "rest of the story" it is obvious that this was a major misinterpretation of the tow pilots rudder waggle by BOTH pilots. The "copilot" shouts "release, release, release," and the "pilot" fails to properly interpret the rudder wag and releases. We all make mistakes, unfortunately some of our mistakes can be fatal. We must all continually update our knowledge of emergency signals and procedures to help reduce these kinds of accidents. JMHO. Walt
