I have been flying a DG 101G for three seasons...
cons:
-must set trim full forward (Part of TO checklist) for aerotow; if you don't the glider will balloon quickly off the ground and get dangerous fast (especially light pilots)

Full forward trim on aero tow??? I have an LS 1 f and my flight manual says to set forward trim also, but full forward trim??? I find that in my glider, I just need to set the trim slightly forward of middle to aero tow nicely. I know that my glider is different from yours, but they are from the same era in glider design and some what similar designs. I have a CG hook.

If I shove the trim all the way forward, the control stick is almost touching the radio. I will admit that I am not a light weight pilot, but FULL forward trim???
