His first three actual tows are with a glider instructor in our heaviest glider. Normal tow, beginning student wild tow and a controlled tow with box wake and slack line maneuvers, and a pattern tow.


I'm not a tow pilot. I wonder why you don't make the first tow easy and ramp up from there. Why not make the first tow with a 1-26 on a long runway?
