Probably around 60 though. That close to the ground with that big Dodge right behind you? What a rush! The rig allowed for a limited amount of angular misalignment - (side to side), so staying in front of the truck was critical. (and you have no rear view mirrors either, so the truck driver actually had to stay behind the airplane!) IIRC, that's what finally happened to it. Some multi-thousand hour glider pilot let it get to far to one side and rolled the entire rig... Those were the glory days at Newton. Richard
